Product Description
Power your laptop while on the road with this convenient car adapter. An Intelligent IC chip recognizes a fully charged battery and automatically switches to saver mode to prevent overcharging and short circuit. While not in use, conveniently charge your laptop like you would your cell phone or navigation device, from the cigarette lighter. This is the perfect compliment for those who travel with a laptop / notebook.

 Works perfectly for the Aspire One! August 20, 2010
Joe Teeples (Seattle, WA)
I've had the Aspire One for a couple of years and still use the original battery. Normally I plug it in when I'm teaching classes and running power point on it. The battery has grown weak and I should replace it, but I normally run it on AC power.
Since I also use it when I'm on the boat, this adapter allows me to plug into my boat's power and run it all weekend. It works GREAT!

Product arrived in about a week. I plugged it in while driving to top off my ZA3 and it worked great...for about two hours.
Fortunately, I was sitting right there so I smelled it when it started smoking - so it didn't burn down my truck or anything exciting like that. Looks like maybe the internal fuse did NOT blow when the electronics started to fry. Now it has a melted spot on the side and I'm not about to plug it in to see if it still works or not.
I've had it about a week and I've sent a contact email to eForCity through the Amazon contact system. We'll see what happens. I'm not going to be very happy if I end up having to spend money to ship a $10 item back for a replacement. If I get good service, then I'll edit this review and say so. If I don't get good service then I'll do the same.
EDIT: Well I got a response...sort of. What I got was an email with a tracking number showing that the company had shipped another unit. No charge, no fuss, no bother and nothing was said about returning the burnt out unit. I sent the complaint message just before Memorial day, and the email with the tracking number of the new unit showed up just after Memorial day. That was pretty quick. At this point, I have NO complaints about the service.
If the replacement lasts a while then I'll be happy with that.
EDIT: So I got the replacement and it worked for quite a while, then it quit. I took my multimeter and stuck the tips of the probes to the openings on the back of the fuse and it was blown (no continuity). You can't reach the fuse with fingers, so I got a pair of big tweezers and tried to pull it out and it wouldn't come out. So I tried forceps...still nogo. So I tried small needle-nose pliers and it still wouldn't come out. Finally I gave up and took it apart (there is a screw under the label and then it just pops apart. Well...the fuse is soldered to the circuit board and is not replaceable.
Screw it...I tossed #2 in the junk drawer with #1 and I'm not even going to try to deal with the vendor to get any satisfaction. I guess if a Chinese product lasts a couple of months we're supposed to act like we got our money's worth.
There are other car chargers on Amazon for a few bucks more. I'll be ordering one of those instead of messing with trying to get this POS replaced.
Verdict: I recommend that you NOT buy this.
EDIT: What I finally ended up with is a beefier unit that I found from a vendor on that site with "bay" in the name. It was 18 bucks w/free shipping and has higher ratings than the unit here. Supposedly rated up to 90w, which considering the power supply that came with my ZA3 is only rated at 30w should be plenty. Input: DC 10v-15v 10a max. Output: 19v 4.7a continuous. Model: YD190-474. Vendor is dub-dub-dub dot sibusa dot com.
It charges my ZA3 faster than the unit I bought here (yea, I know - it shouldn't, but it does), and barely even gets warm. The two other units both got really hot.
Amazing little device April 28, 2010

It works great on my netbook. It runs suppriseingly cool compaired to the 110V power suupply. A very minor dissappointment, it does not provide enough power for my large old Acer notebook, but I never travel with the big notebook anyway as the netbook is so much more convient to carry.
Good Value April 5, 2010

My daughter and I travel often and she needed to access her computer while on the road. The price was great and she loves it.

I purchased this charger for my Acer Aspire laptop. I had scouted around for a car charger that I could possibly use for my Aspire 5534. Maybe I did purchase the wrong product. But this thing did not work. The first red flag was the connection. It was not snug. I had a fully charged battery before leaving home. To conserve the laptop battery, I utilized the charger while I had the laptop running a couple of applications. I watched the battery meter begin to go down even with the charger connected to the laptop -- an indication that it was not charging.
