i picked up an inverter that plugs into my cigeretter lighter plug. Now i just use the supplied AC adaptors for each gadget i have. Has enough power to charge the laptop as well.

Any of those USB car adapters using your existing USB cable should do. Amazon has a ton of them. Check out the reviews first. Many online cell phone outfits have them too. Not that the N900 needs that much juice, I'd choose a model that puts out the 1.5 amps the stock N900 charger is rated for.

I have this charger and whilst it works well you cannot use the N900 to play music as the charger does not screen out engine noice. Am about to fit a choke to it but was suprised that I needed to

I tried this (see attached picture) and it did not work with the N900 usb cable nor with its own universal micro-usb plug. Apparently the 2 inner contacts of the 4 present in the usb must be shorted for charging to be possible from a "dumb" power source.

Just having a source of 5 volts isn't enough. I bet the pictured adapter would have worked with an adapter with a Nokia pin out.
