Hello all.
I just had a quick question before going on a roadtrip.
I have a small netbook that draws about 3 amps at 12 volts from the AC adaptor. I want to plug the netbook directly into the 12 volt power outlet in my car so I dont have to bother with an inverter.
However, when the car is running, the alternator charging circuit boosts the voltage to around 14 volts.
I was wondering if anyone had any opinions about the electrical tolerance of the computer, and if it would be damaged by the extra 2 volts. I can always just go buy an inverter if I need to.
Thanks!
