No - I plug my Lenovo (Think Pad) DC to DC inverter into a female Cigarette
Lighter receptacle that's has car battery clips on it then attach that to my
Deep Cycle Marine battery. I then plug the Lenovo DC to DC inverter into
my laptop. Lenovo calls it a "DC Travel Adapter"...
I think this was the one I ordered.

This is what it looks like.

It's not really designed to charge and power the laptop at the same time.
You should call Lenovo Sales to ensure you got the correct one.

Jim,
How would this work? I assume I would plug into the DC to DC inverter with
the power cord that has that standard 120V plug. This power supply was
designed to plug into an AC source and so I do not think it will work with a
DC to DC inverter. Is that correct? Maybe I could call B&H (who I bought the
laptop from) and get a cord that will go directly from the laptop to the
inverter, and maybe at the same time buy the inverter from them.
