sorry not quite suer where this should be.

I am going camoing soon and need to charge my camera battery and laptop battery while away, I could get the shop to charge them at a small cost but i am looking at buying a dcto ac power converter. It costs about £30 or so but just wondered if they are any good and how long it would actually take to recharge a battery?

Do you mean an inverter where you plug into cigarette lighter of the car
so you can then use the supplied power supplies for the camera and laptop

mrs_baggins

yes thats the one

If you can, look for a direct in-car-charger adaptor for each directly - much more efficient than an inverter, so less likely to leave you with a flat battery in the mornings!
