Yes, and this particular solution has the advantage of permitting use of other
small electronics besides just the laptop. It is probably cheaper than a
solution specifically made for your computer as well.

Hi Monica,
If you're travelling via car, you can by a universal car adapter, that is
also known as a 12 volt to 110 volt power inverter, that converts DC to AC and
will plug into the cigarette lighter on one end and your laptop on the other.
You won't have to run down your battery at all. This can be found at most
department stores including Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, specialty shops such as
Radio Shack and so forth. Best Buy has them in the 25 to 100 dollar range
based on the power output. You need to match the power consumption of your
laptop to the inverter used (keeping to the minimum that you need will prevent
blown fuses in the car), and the personnel at Best Buy would be able to help
you find the correct model.
HTH, and my best to your family. BTW, we've used one for several years.

Hi, Darrell. I don't have a notetaker, and that's why I've been asking about
the laptop. Mine is a 5-year old Dell, and I'll have to get my daughter to help
me find the model number. I may end up taking it to an electronics store
tomorrow and looking for something there. If nothing else, maybe I'll buy an
extra battery for it if they carry one that will work. Thanks for your help.
