Post by marmaduke »

Hi, Can anyone give me a (non-technical!) idea of what specifications inverter I'll need to run a laptop? Cheers!

Stepping up 12volts to 240 then back down again to 19/20V is very inneficient and wll take lots out of your leisure battery, so an in car charger is preferable.

Or similar unit.
Check your laptop adapter falls under the 80watt max that this particular unit can deliver.
