    I think someone else in this forum has tried something similar and it didn't work (i think it was a 200 watt power invertor). Plus that pack you link to has no connections for an averatec notebook.

    The output voltage is 20v, 6a and the input is 100-240vac 2a. If you do the math, you need 120w continuous.

    The problem is that power inverter are rated at their MAX wattage (they can give that much power for a couple of seconds only). I've tried the 6130hs with a 200w power inverter, even without a battery, the power inveter couldn't handle the current draw for more than 10 seconds.

    It would work with more than 200w, canadian tire sells 400w and more.
