    Hi all,

    I'm looking for a car charger for my dv5t and am wondering if this is possible? I live in NZ so hopfully there are some companies that make them here, otherwise I'll have to import. I've had a look around local shops with no luck so thought I'd ask here. :) The charger is a 90W with 19V and 4.74A.

    There is a ciggarette lighter to AC/DC powered, so you can use your original charger and plug it in, in your car. These doesn't cost much. But make sure you get one that can handle atleast 100W, so you won't burn the adapter/converter.
    These should exist in some car stores or car accessories store.
