Purchased an inverter to run my Powerbook and recharge 1ds batteries while on the road. Also have hooked it up to a portable power supply consisting of a car battery for some location work, which worked fine.
Searching on the web and talking with manufacturers and vendors, there's some question if you'd be better off using a "pure sine wave" model (more expensive), or the more popular (and cheaper) "modified sine wave". Some say it depends on how sensitive the device you're powering is. I purchase the cheaper model, as most people do, and it seems to work fine without damaging anything, but I might sleep better knowing I had purchased the "pure sine wave", just to be safe.
