Why not just read the name off the top?

Yes, it is fantastic and means that I can work on my Acer Aspire S7 all day long with no mains power and at full screen brightness.

Well done Wodders.

The spec for the G7 says 3.5 amps at 19v. What does your laptop require?
My Dell says it needs it needs 19v at 4.62 amps (which I find hard to
believe) but would make this unit to be inadequate for the job.

I have a handy Dell travel adapter that is very small, takes any voltage
you're likely to find in offices, hotels, cars and planes, it's 60W
which was the same as the power brick of the laptop I had at the time.

Two laptop upgrades later, each comes with larger and heavier chargers
now 130W or more, which I leave connected to docking stations at home
and in an office.

Dell laptops will accept under-powered adapters (you might get a warning
at boot which you override) it can only charge slowly if it's running at
the same time, and it threatens to throttle the CPU or switch from the
Radeon to the Intel GPU, but typically it takes under 20W in use, so for
travel use the 60W adapter is still great.

It only needs to last whilst I am on the ferry or train, as soon as I get to my cabin or hotel, I can plug into 240VAC again.

Well done Wodders.


The reviews on Amazon say otherwise. One reviewer only managed 105
minutes powering his laptop.

Internal is 2 hours + 105 mins = 3.75h = plenty.

Just bought another one for the car as you can pump up tyres with it and start engines with a flat battery.

Why not keep the first one in the car - and then take it with you on your
thousand mile daily commute using trains and ferries which necessitated the
device?

A fool and his (loads of) money are soon parted.

If we believe you of course.
