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.
Car Charger for Acer Aspire One
Plug it in, turn on the laptop, done! It does everything the OEM power brick does, but through a cigarette lighter.
I checked the output voltage of this thing, and it’s right at 18 volts. The OEM power brick output is 19 volts. Close enough!
The cigarette lighter side gets slightly warm while it has a load on it (charging the battery while the machine is powered on), but I wouldn’t consider it any kind of hazard. It doesn’t get anywhere near as warm as the OEM power brick does.
It just plain works like it is supposed to. Enough said.

Bought this for the Acer netbook, and it works! No shorts, no overheating, no wrong size. Just flat out works!

It works just as expected, charging my Aspire One just as quickly as the standard adapter can. It does get warm, but not alarmingly hot. I only have one bone with this charger: the adapter tip feels very weak, with minimal plastic molding around the barrel tip.

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.

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.
