Have you considered using small inverters plugged into cigarette lighter outlets to power your Macs? Or even a larger inverter to handle all your AC needs while the generator is off?[/quote]
I would love to use a 12v inverter from a cig plug (and I will for my old iBook) to charge but they don't make one yet for my new MacBook with the Magsafe plug. I just assumed there would be one available and didn't even ask when I bought the new one! We have to run the generator for about 2 hours per day to power the refrigeration and charge the boat batteries and run our watermaker,so I plan to charge the laptops then as well. Not sure why husband hasn't considered an inverter. Thanks for your help!
