You need to be certain of the power needs of the laptops - some
laptops have reduced voltage AC supplied thru the power supplies
and some get DC, others simply plug into 120 v and convert it
internally. As inefficient as it might be to plug them into an AC
inverter, that should work for all the laptops.

We want to run a couple of notebooks or laptops for sales directly of the bank of batteries rather than invert the D/C to A/C. This loses so much in the invertion process that it is inefficient.
