Default Inverters & Laptops

Better to use a step up DC transformer - much more efficient and

Hmm. The DC-DC converter b393capt mentioned above is rated 88%
efficient; a typical boat inverter is nearer 95% efficient when running
a smallish load like a laptop. When the wall wart inefficiency is
included, they are comparable, the DC-DC converter is not "much more
efficient."
