I live out of my car and would like a way to charge my laptop. Is this a good product or can someone recommend a better one? Just need 120v outlets

I like it it has a usb charger and 120 volt haven't used it much but I like it

I bought one for our boat and often charge my phone and laptop from it.I think it would work well for you.

Hello to you, PhillySlimBMW here.... Yes, because this unit does have (1) USB port and (2) 120 volt power outlets. Also, I have already purchased this unit and I am very much satisfied with it. I grade it with (5) STARS. You have a FINE NAVAL AIR FORCE DAY....

I do not know of a way to use 120 v. outlet. No adapter orplug can with the unit. However, it does very well in thecar's electrical plug and the long cord is a big plus.

The power supply is not included with the charger, and it can use anything that can supply the necessary current via a USB port. Therefore, yes, you can purchase any USB power adapter that plugs into the car's cigarette lighter receptacle. I can imagine that you would want one that can output 2A of current.And as other people have mentioned, the device is likely to slide off the surface of the charging pad, as your car accelerates or brakes, so a car is probably not a very appropriate place to use a wireless charging pad that does not have a way to hold the device in position.

The power brick the comes with the unit is only 110V, however you could purchase a dual voltage replacement from Radio Shack. I charge from 220V using a transformer.As for the laptop, most laptops have a dual voltage power supply so I'd be surprised if you couldn't charge it using this.

Says in put 120v 2.0 amp. Its the dc volts you need. Charges both my toshibas at 19 volts and my hp at at volts. You have to play with the voltage till you find what works. Look at laptop battery voltage to give you a starting point. Only complaint i have is the ends distort easy.

Honestly I would just give up and run to an airport or train station and buy a new one from another company. As I said in my review, even when mine was in converter mode, if didn't limit the power like it should. It fried one device, but luckily everything else was dual voltage. If your things are dual voltage, my next question would be are you using it worn an extension cord or power strip, because it doesn't like those. Just make SURE your stuff is rated for the higher volts and plug them straight in.

Read the USB wall pack's voltage input range. If it is ends up being only 110/120VAC 60Hz, then you can use another comparable output USB charger (amperage needs to be equal to or higher than the supplied pack).The USB side of things is not an issue, as 5VDC is the USB standard, so a wall adapter with USB charging ports on it will work just fine, so long as it is able to supply enough current (amps).The wall adapter is relatively inconsequential and equivalent ones made for your power grid are easily found if this one ends up not supporting your power grid.

Buy a dc to ac converter ( for the car outlet) and let us all know how it worked.

I'm not sure I would hook a laptop up to this inverter. Keep in mind it produces MSW which is basically a stairstep square wave as opposed to a real sine wave. I ruined a dorm fridge trying to run it on MSW. Upgraded to a Pure Sine Wave inverter and the replacement fridge is quite happy, just like running it on house current. Technically I don't know whether you will damage your laptop power supply but I would not take the chance. I would suggest you invest is a power adapter like one you could use to run the laptop off the power outlet (cig lighter socket) in a car.

You need an 12V DC to 110V AC Inverter. Something like this BESTEK 300W Power Inverter 12V DC to 110V AC Car Inverter with 3.1A Max Dual USB Ports for Smartphones, Tablets and MoreYou can get smaller or bigger. This would handle any size laptop and is on the larger size for this application.

Works off any household outlet. It does come with an adapter than plugs into your vehicle if you want to go mobile. In response to "Don" response dated 12/6/12, I wouldn't recommend using a 12vdc battery hooked up to a charger in your home. You could run the risk of the battery exploding, due to acid fumes coming in contact with any spark. While remote, it is possible. The BC355N is a GREAT little scanner.

I know this is an old post but it may help someone. Interesting that they'd say 9-12V. It will probably work, but this is what I know about car electronics. I'm a product design and electrical engineer and I've developed lots of products that plug into car cigarette lighter sockets. The 12V power is really "noisy" meaning there are spikes and jolts and surges all over the place. It's a nominal 13.5V on most electrical systems, though the newer cars with advanced electronics may clean that up a bit. But here's the deal: The "nominal" (average) already exceeds their 9-12V spec, and when you consider the spikes and surges, I'd think you'd be risking blowing out your DVD unit to plug it in with a direct 12V cord. The 9V cord not only transforms it down to a lower input voltage, but it has a switching regulator that adapts very quickly to quell spikes and surges. The replacement adapter from Philips is $12, but hey, that already fried! It probably didn't "fry itself", but more likely was fried by the car you used it in which may have had worse surges than the average car. I would get the $20 one from Radio Shack (m/n 273-369). Take in your player to a store and they'll fix you up with the correct tip in the right configuration. I'm not insensitive to your need for economy, but you are risking frying your whole $130 DVD player for want of $10 or $20 for a good power cord. Go without those Lattes for a week and get a quality power cord.

You just plug it into the electrical outlet & the other end into the computer. If you are not moving the laptop keep it plugged in...Wont hurt...

Yes. This is how it works. You can also plug in your laptop. There is an indicator to show when you need to recharge. I have been using for a year and it is very reliable. Good product.

Try this one bro. Has good reviews and supports up to 500w, automatic and quite portable. http://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Transformer-Adapter-500W-110v/dp/B001TPZ294/ or this also looks good but up to 200w and lighter http://www.amazon.com/Portable-universal-converter-charging-MRJ201GU/dp/B00F877VES/

It always depends on what you are plugging into the strip. This is a basic strip and is good for multiple small appliances or electronics. You should not use this to plug in your PC, Printer, modem, monitor or other major electronics. For Hi tech electronics I would recommend a battery back-UPS ES 8 Outlet 550VA 120V to protect your equipment from sudden power lose or surges will working on your pc.

I can't imagine it powering a laptop, don't laptops need way more energy than an iPod or cell phone? I wouldn't recommend trying it. I would say it's a REPLACEMENT for powering off a laptop.
