Default Powering laptop etc in car from inverter?

Only small ones work off the lighter socket - this is restricted to a max
of 10 amps. Larger ones have crock clips for direct connection to the
battery. But nothing to stop you using custom wiring and a suitable
plug/socket for connection inside the car.

TLC have rather good prices on modified sine wave invertors. You'll see
the identical ones elsewhere at more than twice the price.
