Option for XPS Gen 2 airline power adapter?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I'm wondering if anyone else has any suggestions of a power adapter for use on airplanes with my XPS Gen 2?

I would like to use my XPS to watch movies on the plane but I only get about an hour and a half before I lose power. I really don't want to carry some big, bulky additional adapter just for power on the airline. I'd prefer something small that might not even fully power the laptop but might trickle charge it enough to keep it going for a 3-4 hour flight.

I have an iGo 120 Watt unit, but I don't have a tip for my XPS Gen 2 (I bought it for an older laptop and my cell phone). But the iGo 120 is pretty bulky, so I'd rather not carry that.

This has been discussed in length last year, so you may want to search for those threads. Basically it is not possible at this time for airplanes to provide enough juice for our XPS Gen 2's. It doesn't matter what adapter you get. You best bet for now is to load up on another battery.

Thanks, I guess I'll go down that route. Too bad there's not a way to charge the battery outside of the laptop. Or is there?
