[P1] DC Inverter/Regulator WAS: Revive "new" dead battery

[David Crump]

 AC/DC inverters generate a LOT of 
spurious RF (broadband radio frequency waves, read: noise) which 
severely interfere with radio signals,

I've used my iBook in my Car for mp3's with a power inverter since my original blueberry iBook, and with my Graphite SE, it turns the car into a DVD theatre for my passengers (kind of distracting for the driver).  Great for long trips at night!
I've never had any problems, but the one time I had a friend with a TiBook along, he plugged the TiBook into the inverter and the stereo, and there was so much interference we had to unplug it and use my iBook.  It was funny that it interfered with the TiBook and not the iBook.
