Subject: Re: Car adapters for iBooks
I'm having a look around for car chargers/adapters for a current model
iBook. After something that's (hopefully) both light and cheap. Any
suggestions/personal experiences? Where's a good place to buy from?
I got a very expensive one from the place in Carillion Arcade. It
was $200, but it was made by Lind. I've used Lind on my laptops in
the past and found that they have excellent power conditioning. I
really don't trust a lot of the generic ones as I've blown power
boards in the past from bad power, and car power supplies are
notoriously dirty. If you get a genero-one, make sure to plug it in
after the car has started to avoid the surge.

I bought one by mail order from Fosh

Turns out that its the Lind product. Mine came with various
connectors and after changing a few power books I can still use it.
