Like the title says... does anyone make an adaptor to put into the cigarette lighter to make it into a power outlet? Dumb reason, but I was watching a movie with my gf in my car on my laptop the other day (I know.. how romantic, huh? What she DID'NT know, was that it was really a date for me and my Evo, my gf was just there.... bawahah... anyways...) it ran out of batteries. I was wondering if anyone makes an adaptor so i can put it in... that way I can add a power strip and hook up my laptop, microwave, mini fridge, shop light, etc. lol. You get the idea. I'm making this into a long thread for no appearent reason. If anyone knows where to get one, let me know!

 

It's called a power inverter available at any radioschack or electronic store

 

Dude... you're the man. I overlooked the most obvious answer. haha. I did'nt know what it was called so I just googled "cigarette lighter adaptor" and got nowhere. I'll goto radioshack today and check it out.

 

they should have one for about 30 bucks but I think they make a specific one for laptops. Also check with the manufacturer of your laptop they sometime have DC car kits as well

 

ohhh. I dont want it just for my taptop though. I want it for my solder iron, shop light, etc.

 

you might want to post this in the advance topics section with the other advance cig lighter posts....

=)

 

Make sure you get one that can handle the wattage of whatever you're plugging into it. And keep an eye on your battery voltage cause an inverter can put a huge draw on your batt.

 

HA! And people said that OEM Voltage gauge in the Evos are useless... 1 up for Evo's . I dont have one however...
