Would this work in a vehicle? We have a two prong outlet but the laptop charger has three prongs.

I think so ye, I don't see why not. It works in every two prong outlet I've come accross

yes, I use it in my mini-van's 2-prong outlet that I plug a small 3 outlet extension cord into. Works to charge my phone and computer just fine.

Yes this will work. I own this product and it works very well. I love the car charger perfect for outings.

check the wattage on the power adapters for the laptop and tablets and add them up. if they're less than 150 watts you're ok. your car's receptacle for the plug will need to be able to supply almost 15 amps (check the fuse for it).

I think you would have to use an adaptor for the power outlet... Otherwise I think it should work

You can use the charger for an automotive battery, if all the battery connections and battery top is very clean. Recommend that the battery be disconnected from vehicle, so that the microprocessor is not reading the vehicle keep alive circuits! I have a negative ground battery disconnect switch to isolate battery from vehicle. Also, charger requires wall current type power source to function properly:)

Hey Melvin, it can be plugged into a grounded three prong electrical outlet, if the outlet has a round grounding port. Also, Google search for "Clint Ober Video's" he explains all about the grounding and checking outlets to make sure they are grounded back to earth. Also using a grounding rod works well.

The big answer is NO. Laptops use a lot more current and a higher voltage than this charger is capable of. The good news is that there are a lot of car chargers out there that are made just for about any laptop made. "Pwr+" makes excellent car chargers for laptops and Amazon has loads of them. My Jeep Grand Cherokee's power port will not put out enough current for my Asus laptop charger so I have to use it in the regular cig. lighter receptacle on accessory. Most car chargers are under 20.00 so are a good investment if you travel with your laptop. Also once you have your laptop plugged into your car charger you can use the laptop USB ports for charging USB devices. Hope this was of some help. Harold The big answer is NO.

the car charger is not intended to run your laptop its intended to charge your laptop the lap top runs off the battery and the charger uses a converter to charge it!

It would depend on the wattage of the laptop charger. It could range between 5-8 laptops.

As long as your car is running(since it feeds off the battery) you can plug two standard electric plugs and two USB cables into the device.Hope this helps.

all I'd say is "probably"... the standard chargers that come with the unit are just 12V 5amp, so as long as the car battery can output that current, shouldn't be a problem.. how it may drain the battery is something else, but the power consumption is pretty low (one of the benefits of LEDs), and if the car would be running, not an issue. Hope that helps.

It would work the same as it does in the truck for asking as you had the twelve volt battery it was hooked to charge. If you let the solar panel charge your 12v bater all day you should be able to use it for laptop, cellphone charger or small fan up to maybe 12inch fan just check the watts for hay ever you plug up

please read the description. It converts 110V from w all outlet to 12V DC. So, if your laptop runs on 12V and you have a 110V "wall" outlet in your car, YES Otherwise NO of course

Yes that should not be a problem. We plugged in a laptop and recharged the battery while driving so I don't see why not.

Not positive here, but I would be hesitant to use this charger for that purpose and I wouldn't even dream about it if they are in series. (I would dare to believe that they are parallel though.) I would feel okay with 2 standard automotive batteries wired in parallel, but I think you are asking for a short lived charger on anything more than that.

Yes, it will work with a 3-prong charger. For what it's worth, I recommend this item. I've used it in Brazil and Argentina.

Yep as long as the plugs don't take up too much space. I have personally had two USB devices, a blender, and a laptop in this outlet. I have also charged two iPads charging at the same time from it
