I just bought a cheap dc/dc converter which you put in the cigarette lighter. On the side it says:
What does this mean?Warning: This unit is not stabilized its maximum rating is 800mA and if less current is drawn there is a corresponding voltage rise. At less than 400mA this rise could be considerable.
How can I protect against it?
I dont want my mp3 player frying

lol, funny though
AceRimmer, 800mA is not going to be enough to power your laptop. Some alternatives for power:
- use an inverter and then plug your AC adapter that came with your laptop to it. Make sure you buy a powerful enough inverter.
- use something like this: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...uct_Id=168834#. This is just a sample of laptop power solutions. I don't endorse either Belkin or other brands.
Good luck with your search.
Ok my bad, I dont intend to run a laptop. Just a portable mp3 player. Dont ask me why I put laptop.
But the question still remains
Ive done 2 carputers before, this is a new project. For the two carputers I used inverters.Warning: This unit is not stabilized its maximum rating is 800mA and if less current is drawn there is a corresponding voltage rise. At less than 400mA this rise could be considerable.
