Apologies for replying to myself - you can also (for both bitly
and tinyurl) as a '+' after the tinyurl or bitly link to find out
where it REALLY goes, then clip the "?....." stuff away from the
link you find and see if it works.
I don't like giving the internet lords the power to track my
browsing habits and my friend connections.

For those who are concerned about tinyurl and bitly security
(like I am) and internet tracking (like I am), the real target
of this link is
("400W DC-DC Step Up
Boost Buck Voltage Converter Power Supply Module 15A")
For those who care, almost every link that includes a
"?blah=yadayadayada&somethingelse=morenonsensechars" you can
VERY SAFELY chop the "?everythingelse" and all following
[tracking data] and avoid getting tracked on the nets. It's easy
to check before you share a link - cut the "?blah=..." and see
if the link still works. It usually will - the extra stuff is
just advertisers tracking where you found their material, where
else you visited, and who your friends are!

Maybe experiment with something like this from ebay. Read the
description, looks like it may work for your use.

Hi all,
I have a Lenovo laptop that currently uses an AC power supply (135W).?
I think the output is aprox 20V.
I'd like to be able to run it from the RV batteries (typically 12 to
13V) without the need for an inverter.
I think the major issue is the current draw.? 135W at 20V can draw
6.75A so a 12V boost converter would probably draw 11.25+ Amps.
Any thoughts on how best to achieve this?
Luke
