Jim,
Thanks for the inverter suggestion. I have the Lenovo W530 laptop. The
power supply that comes with it puts out 20V, 8.5A. Would I need to find
a DC to DC inverter that puts out 8.5A? Is there an amp range that is
acceptable? Who has this inverter? I would need it within a week or so
and so someplace in town is better than ordering it from the internet.
