> 12v to 240v inverter Can someone explain this part of his equation? What’s he doing with 240v? Or maybe he meant 24v for charging the laptop?

Can someone explain this part of his equation? What’s he doing with 240v? Or maybe he meant 24v for charging the laptop?
- ketralnis 5y agoHe's in Australia which uses 240v mains power. He's using an inverter to connect his regular old laptop charger plug.
- philipkglass 5y agoHe's using a household solar inverter designed to convert low voltage DC to AC at standard wall socket voltage. It's not the most efficient approach, as noted in other comments, but it's an easy approach since these inverters are common and a laptop's power supply is already set up to plug into a wall socket.
- forkfork 5y agoYep! Inefficient, but it is what I have, and there is no risk to frying my moderately expensive laptop which I hope to keep running for many years.
