I'd suggest getting a power inverter instead--after all, the car is going to be carrying it so it doesn't matter if it's heavier or bulkier than a charger. It will also work with other devices. I just leave mine permanently tucked under the passenger car seat until needed...

I've got several car chargers leftover from previous generations of powerbooks, each of which cost at least $70 and each of which doesn't fit other generations of powerbooks. Plugs are different, voltage requirements are different. If I'd gotten a power inverter right off, I'd have been ahead from the beginning.

get the iGo. Not only does it charge a PowerBook -- or other colleagues' crappy PC notebooks -- but has an optional charging attachment for cellphones and other small devices, at the same time.

Excellent. A bit more money, but carrying one adapter for traveling via air or auto is swell.
