Yep - and don't have it plugged in while cranking the engine... Seems that the current available can be all over the place while the starter motor is running.
I guess that's why some of the higher end stereos turn off momentarily when the starter motor is going. BTW - my laptop draws 24W while not charging and 33W while charging. I could run 11 laptops at once off this, or 9 charging laptops. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Holdoway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 21 January 2005 2:44 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SOT: Car Inverter Importance: Low On Fri, January 21, 2005 2:27 pm, C.
