| 392341 | 2005-10-05 20:37:00 | What Inverter did you get, Big john? This one? (www.dse.co.nz) Sounds interesting :) My laptop's power unit says 19V 3.42Amps. Does watts = amps x volts? Trying to remember the triangle thing here from school about 20 years ago lol) So that's 65Amps draw? I also see that the input supply to the laptop charger is 100~240V so I guess if the voltage drops it will still work. How is 'inverted' 12V AC Power for charging the laptop, is it as efficient as pure mains power? Sorry about the questions, but this will solve my "going away at Xams without any power" problem :D The one I got was DIGITOR Inverter 12V-240V 300W. It was charging nicely on the way home while I had it running TUMON and live tracking using a GPS on the USB port. Went from 51% charge to 88% charge in 45 minutes trip home. However had it been turned off it probably would have been fully charged. |

| 392343 | 2005-10-06 08:40:00 | Where would I find this? Do a Google search on the word netstumbler. It would be the first on the list. At least it was on mine. Picked up my network at home fine and said it was all secure although I do broadcast the SSID. It did make my connection useless though until I turned it off and let windows take control of the wireless card again but that was just a few clicks. Have'nt tried it with the GPS yet. Maybe for a rainy day (Gee it has been raining all day) |
