Oh yeah! I often neglect to mention what country... residual American arrogence of some sort I suppose! Well... guess you'll be glad now that the cooler weather of fall is approaching, huh Raymond? ;-P Matt Jaycar Electronics here sells a DC to DC switchmode power supply designed for running laptops off a cigarette lighter. It can boost an input of between 12 volts and 15 volts to a regulated 15 to 24(!) volt 3.5 amp supply (without going from DC to AC and back again). That'd be more than enough for the libby (the libby's own switchmode supply is only rated at 2 amps). It sells for $90AUD (about $45USD I'd say). Unfortunately, the catalogue I've got doesn't mention a brand name ... it looks a lot like a slightly bigger version of those normal cigarette lighter adapters though - like the ones for CD players and the like (except those normally only convert voltage down from 12 volts where this one converts up). > >Oh ya, and your buzzing is probably because your inverter creates a >modified sinewave (really just 2 or more square waves put together) which >the switchmode supply for the libby won't like. > >- Raymond > > > > >************************************************************** >http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list >http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives >http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ > -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- >Reply to any of the list messages.
