 It's large and heavy and only puts out less than one amp. September 22, 1999

I have a Compact Armada 1400 Series of notebook computer. I bought one of these converters thinking I could connect it to a 12 volt power supply. One that is used to start cars by plugging into the cigarette lighter. I was hoping to get several hours of service while I was on my 14 hour flight to Japan. It did not work for me, either with the portible power supply or plugged into my car lighter. There was just not enough amperage to power the AC to DC converter that plugs into my computer. Maybe it works on computers that require less than one amp of power.

I used this converter to power a 13" TV/VCR combo in our van during a long trip recently. It was great. The kids sat in the back and watched movies and it made the trip much nicer. My only complaint is that it goes off when you stop the car and then you have to unplug everything and replug them in when you are ready to use them again. Overall it was great though.
 Works great November 26, 2001

I bought this over a year ago and it was an excellent purchase. I plugged a power strip into this, and use it to charge my Compaq Armada laptop, cell phone, and a AAA battery charger all at once without any problems. Having AC power in the car is quite convenient.
no problem here.... July 27, 2000

I had no problem powering my toshiba laptop with this inverter. I was drawing approximately 140 watts -- a bit more than one amp and things work fine.The short answer is that it works great, when plugged in to a car battery (ie via the cigarette lighter port), as it was intended to be used. It's possible that you could plug this inverter into some hokey battery-charging device meant to 'recharge' your auto battery, but I doubt that you'll get that much power out of it as you only get out most of what you put in.
