Celestron 17Ah Powertank

[warpout]

I have recently purchased the above powertank. I would like to power my  laptop(battery has had it's day) which runs on 19 volts. Is there an inverter or some other device out there that can give me 19 volts from the 12 volt "cigarette lighter" output socket. If not, looks like I'll have to buy a new battery.

There certainly is, I use one connected to a 12v supply to power my Ethernet adapter for my Moravian CCD camera which also uses 19v. Just look up laptop power adapters on Ebay and it will turn up dozens of different ones.

There are car chargers for laptops that plug into the 12V "cigarette lighter" sockets and can be set to a variety of output voltages.
