    Hey, can I buy a Universal Laptop Car Charger like seen on this site http://www.laptopshop.co.uk/laptop-notebook-car-cord/spscarcord.htm

    Or must I buy a specific charger especially designed for my 6314W, I haven't actually recieved my notebook yet so I cant really check the voltage. Can anyone guide me on a suitable car charger.

    Thanks.

    To be safe, you may want to ensure that the charger you get is compatible. I'm sure Zepto support can answer that question with more certainty.

    Thanks for the response,

    On The Zepto site under "Chargers" they have:

    Powerinverter 12/230V 150W output(250351) - Usuable for all equipment requiring power whilst on the road

    This 150W Inverter (carcharger) gives you the possibility of connecting normal 220V equipment with regular 220V plug. This inverter connects all 220V equipment which does not require more than150W.
    You can use this inverter together with existing chargers so you avoid buying car chargers for all your electrical units such as mobile phones, notebook PC's etc.
    Perfect for charging your notebook PC, while you're on the move and are in use of some extra power.

    And also Powerinverter 24/230V 150W output(250353) in which the description is in Dutch I think.

    Getting a Power Inverter sounds good, does anyone know which one I should get?

    Thanks

    i just use an inverter in the car and plug my power supply in to that, was around £25 from Maplin and is pretty good, I can have it plugged in and hide it under the seat or something
