Car charger for Ideapad K1

I would like to use the K1 as a GPS.  I couldn't find a car charger for it.  GPS drains battery quickly.  I don't think the battery can last for a 8-hour drive.
Any ideas where I can get one?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The output of the Lenovo AC charger is 12VDC to the K1. USB is specified as 5VDC. If you plug the data cable into USB you will only see 5VDC. I wonder if you had a cheapo USB/car adapter as indicated above would it put out 5VDC or 12 VDC? If it did put out 12 VDC would the K1 data cable have the right internal connections to deliver the charge?
I will find out tonight as I just received a 2$ USB/car adapter in the mail...

    I use a power inverter which works great. You can get one that plugs into your car charger for about $30-$50 on Amazon. You just plug it into your car charger and plug the MBP power pack into that.

    Hi
    Visit the Toshiba Options & Accessories website.

    There you can search for the additional parts and devices. You should also find a compatible car adapter.

  • Do they Make a car charger for the Iphone5?

    Does anybody know if Apple makes a car charger for the Iphone 5?  I need to find one for long road trips, and I am afraid to buy a cheap one and have it mess up my phone.  Thanks!!!

    All my IP4 chargers are nothing more than lighter plugs with a USB port.  I would assume they would work just using your current USB IP5 cable.  I will confirm this Monday.
    Mine too and the lightning cable just plugs in as the old 30 pin to USB does
    Works fine
    All my lighter plugs are trusted brands ...Belkin,Griffin Kensington etc

  • Can I use the car charger for my 3gs on my iphone 4?

    Can I use the car charger for my 3gs that i bough in the att store on my iphone 4?

    With the 3GS Apple dropped support for charging over the firwire pin on the dock connector. Some older chargers will only supply power over the firewire pin, and thus will not work. There are adapters that will fix this, here's one example:

  • HT1454 I need a car charger for my Apple Iphone 4 S, which is suitable please

    Hello everyone!
    I need some help please, I have a battery charger for my Iphone 4S for the outlet at home. I also do need a car charger for the mobile phone, which one will be suitable for my Apple phone, can anyone advice please?
    It is a pity that Apple have not designed one, for my old Samsung and Ericson there were car chargers as well, why do we not have one from Apple?
    Looking forward for some answers, thanking you all in anticipation.
    Have a great day!
    Cheers,

    Thank you very much for a quick response, I will now only have to go and see if I can find this Griffin or Targus here in Australia.

  • Which one of these 12volt/car charger for MacBook Pro would you choose..???

    Hi everyone.
    I am looking for a suitable 12volt/car charger, so i can charge my brand new MacBook Pro directly from our caravan batteries via a car/12 volt socket. I dont want to use a inverter, as it draws unnecessary power from the vans batteries.
    I am being cautious as I don't want to use a product that is not 100% compatible here in Australia and might void the warranty in any way.
    I can not find anything suitable manufactured by Apple but I have found many 3rd party alternatives, ranging from approx $50 up to a couple of hundred.
    Has anyone had any experience with any of these products.

    Thanks for your help in advance

    Hi Carl, Thank you for your help. I am still none the wiser which one to pick. You say they are not equivalent, but don't they all do the same job. I never was any good at joining the dots, my spelling is shocking and I really wouldn't know a technical error even if it was starring me in the face.
    Have a good one.
