The Brunton comes with a vehicle power outlet cable (e.g., cigarette lighter outlet). You will need a corresponding Lenovo Thinkpad vehicle DC power supply for your laptop, which will plug in to the vehicle power outlet on the Brunton side, and the Thinkpad power jack. The laptop will need to be turned-off when recharging. Don't try to use a DC:AC inverter. With only 14W full output, that's insufficient power to drive the inverter and power supply.
