I use a Sony Vaio for tuning and the battery life at that damn thing absolutely sucks ***! Its a great laptop but I get about a 30 minute log on the scanner and the battery is dead, it's frustrating as hell.

be careful using an inverter while the interface box is connected..
Heard it can cause a failure in a EFI Live box..
my V1 fried for some reason

dunno if it was the inverter or just some weird freak thing.
