[QUOTE="jon_m, post: 114816, member: 2232"] Just been through this. Leaving your dual battery system out of the equation - just dealing with laptop charging; I put in some extra cigarette lighter sockets. From one of these I can run an inverter. However before buying the inverter I had hoped to have work a smaller car laptop power supply thereby bypassing the Dell 204v power supply. After reading some issues with these on the internet I gave it ago. Bought a Jaycar 12v 150w with variable output voltage (in my case 19v/20v). The Jaycar product seems very good but I guess it was Dell causing the pain!
