PB 3400 & Power Inverter problem

[Brian Braunschweiger]

Rather than getting a 12 v adapter for my 3400 when I want to compute 
on in the car (usually on long trips with my wife driving), I got an 
inverter. Unfortunately the inverter shuts itself off when I plug in 
the PowerBook. Sometimes it happens right away and sometimes after a 
minute or two. the voltage is well within the inverter's capacity.

I figured the inverter was bad and bought another one but the same 
thing happened.

Any insights or solutions?
