Car charger for HP Mini 1033CL PC

[haldlock]

Looking for a compatible car charger for the HP Mini.  Recommendations?

HP doesn't currently offer any...but you'll need a 30W adapter if you can find it elsewhere.

Any further leads on a car charger for the HP Mini PC?

No change, no new leads, no luck.  Should have gone with the Asus.

I don't think there is a direct one available, but I just use the generic 12v-110v adaptors.

Agreed it is less elegant than a direct 12v-mini adaptor.

The smallest one will handle the mini without issue. You can pick them up for $25 or less

Thanks Brian...Thank you for the suggestions.  I will definitely check out RS.  But do you know of a charger that will connect directly with the HP Mini without going through the AC adapter?  Or do you think that using the adapter is a level of protection for the Mini?

Use a DC inverter to AC then your Minis power brick.  The Aftermarket power adpators do not have over protection and may not have a clean signal.  I wouldnt trust one myself.  Use a 90W tiny DC inverter for power 20 dollars, also have a 300w inverter which was 30 at walmart, but its a small box, where the 90W one will fit into the Cigar lighter itself with no other wiring or box.

Hi Haldlock

Can you let me know the output voltage and output current of the unit please?

Tartersmell-I'm a bit confused. In order to hook-up my Mini 1101 what exactly do I need?  A DC inverter AND something else?  Or does the inverter have a plug in the end that I would plug my HP power cord into?
