Replace Laptop Battery

Hi All,

With my Laptop battery now down to a 25min life span it's time to fix it.
However, I saw these neat power supplies from iGo.
They can be used as a wall charger and in car charger.
Has anyone ever used one?

I'm looking at the Juice 70, they can be found on Ebay for about $50.

Thanks,
Ross

I haven't heard anything bad about them, but no firsthand experience. Anything beats paying full pop for an OEM replacement lithium. My car / tuning laptop battery is on its way out too. I'm thinking of hiding a gel cell with an isolating diode in the center console, as the power outlet in the GTO is the Communist style that's only active with accessory power on.

BTW, I'm using a low power inverter the size of a pack of cigarettes that I got on FleaBay for $15 plus shipping.

Mate, it's a GTO, not a Lada!!.
Having owned a TransAm in years gone by I must admit I miss the cig lighter not always being powered and not being able to turn the key backwards to power up the radio.

Anyway, I Emailed iGo help desk about the floating earth problem going from 12V to 18V that my laptop needs....5 days and counting, no response yet :(

Cheers,
Ross
