I'd like one too. My DS is always having problems with power!
So you are saying you can recharge your phone or just use the inverter to power it? Tootsie (tech challenged person  )

TigerDirect, it was only $20! They're everywhere now and have all kinds of capabilities. I don't need to run a reciprocating saw off of my car, so I got the simple Xantrex 100, it weighs less than half a pound and they have even more compact ones than that. For $20, I am thrilled with it and it works perfectly.
My battery is beginning to show its age too, and a new one is $120, so for me, this is ideal. Out on the net, you can find charts that show which planes/airlines have power outlets in the seats. Most are in business & 1st class, but I have the miles, and I'm worth it!

Thanks...CompUSA is going out of business. Maybe I will run by there and see if they have one for a decent price. If not, I will order one online.

It's a Targus. No, not yet. CompUSA is going out of business so I got a good deal on it! I may have to go back there tomorrow and see if there is anything else I don't need that's a good deal!

during rest periods or when I want to find a room for my next stop. This puppy keeps me powered up no matter how often or long I want to use my laptop.
