I'll be running my IBM Thinkpad from a 12v battery.  The TP wants to
see at least 13v, though, so I'm using the "All-Purpose Voltage Booster"
from N4UAU.  I set mine to deliver 13v with an input from 12v down to 10v.
Current drain is a steady 1.5A.  I plan to move the converter from battery
to
battery when it drops to 11v so I can take advantage of the recovery time in
the battery.  Also have some solar panels to help perk up the offline
batteries
for max battery life.
