Xantrex is great.......2007-01-19

I have used this product on my laptop, IPOD & Palm Pilot to charge it & it works great. It is definitely worth the price!!

does what it says.......2007-01-17

i didn't have any problems with this at all. there are a couple of important notes in the manual. like don't use it if it's plugged into and a/c outlet. that sort of thing may have caused problems for others, creating a malfunction. Or they just got a lemmon. anythings possible. mine works grrrreat!

Good device; but be realistic about your actual consumption.......2007-01-06

I am not upset about my purchase of this device, but I do need to point out a few things about it.

* 100W is a 5-minute rating based on the inverter, not the battery inside.
* 80W is the inverter output from the car adapter when plugged in.
* 60W is the maximum battery draw without the device shutting itself off.

I read that this device would perform about two hours for a laptop, so I was optimistic. I own a Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro, and an older Dell Inspiron 8000 Pentium 3 laptop. I could not run either of them off the battery inside the PowerSource Mobile 100 if I had the laptop battery installed. Once I removed the laptop battery, I could run from the PS100 for about one hour. Now, realize that my AC adapters draw 75-85 watts max. My friend's laptop draws about 25 watts, instead of the 35-45 that mine draw (battery removed). You may wish to get a device such as the Kill-A-Watt that will show you how much power your laptop actually draws before using the battery and thinking it'll get you two hours of power in a bind.

What are great device. As with other road warriors, a lot of cell phone time and not watching the charge on the battery. Never again..this is what I have needed for a long time. Works great for the lap top on those long flights.
