This is the second car adaptor comment, so I will tell folks what I use. I have an inverter it the car that I picked up for $25 at Wal-Mart. With it I can plug in my cel-phone, or my computer, or my cameras, or my cordless drill, or even a small TV I guess. It provides 175 watts of AC power. It's a darn sight cheaper than DC cords for everything I might want to use/recharge in the car.
