Here'is a rough copy of it, but it's best to see Ebay ad.

Car & Air Adapter for IBM/Lenovo (Thinkpads); or ANY 16Volt (upto
60Watt power out) powered laptops using a similar DC plug end
connecting to laptop. The other end plugs into standard 12Volt car
outlets + Airplane adapter is also included (shown on other photos, as
explained below).
NEW (never used) but I've misplaced original box (carton), been stored
in my garage. Reason to sell: I switched to HP laptops shortly
afterwards, and my large CAD/Engineering workstation-type of laptops
use a different voltage & plug. Whether your laptop accepts 16Volt &
what power/current is upto you to check - you may simply look at your
current AC adapter's labeling and if it's a similar voltage, and equal
or LESS power output, then this adapter will also fit. Note: you
cannot damage modern laptops with a wrong DC power, there're several
protection circuits, unless that DC power is immensely high & fast
acting spike.
Or Google for this part#: SYD1109-6016

BEST to LOOK at PHOTOS, INSTEAD of READING WORDY DESCRIPTION:

What is the reason to use such adapters? Because the alternative
(besides risk of battery running out when you travel) is a car DC-AC
adapter into which your normal laptop AC adapter may plug.
However in this case you end up hauling TWO adapters (DC-AC, AC-DC),
paying far more than 10-15 dollars I am asking, and DC quality out of
such double-conversion might be less than out of DC-DC; though it
depends on design. In any case it will be bulkier and costlier than a
single Car & Air adapter, like the one posted here. I cannot use for
my CAD HP laptop, but if anyone is using IBM, etc 16Volt laptops, it's
a good adapter; hence selling. The only complain I'd have is that DC
cable is a bit rigid (fat) but that's to carry high current, so
electrically it's reasonable.

CE/FCC Safety Regulations compliant.
Also was marketed by IBM/Lenovo awhile ago.
Personal note: if your car is cheap & missing Battery monitor, and you
get carried away working on a laptop plugged into car 12Volt outlet;
just don't forget to run engine occasionally to re-charge it in case
your laptop happens to be power-hungry, though laptops today are VERY
LOW POWER consuming devices; so maybe it's an excessive precaution.
Also as I said Airplane adapter plug is included, see
photos.starium.org

 

Hey IBM.IBMPC.THINKPAD Group:

I failed to mention, this adapter was specifically edsigned for
Thinkpads 9IBM/Lenovo) a few year sago when I bought it, NOT for
generic laptops thoigh obviously as long as your machine is 16Volt &
doesn't consume more than 55-60Watt, it will work.
I've neevr used it, and later rpelaced Thinkpad with HP now that it
was sold to a CHinese company Lenovo. I don't buy CHinese crap as a
matter f principle to stop outsourcing our future, our jobs and just
mental happines to CHina. There's nothign worse in life than
unemployment.

Don't you think that - when I'm interested to buy something via ebay - I
might consider visiting ebay and find all items I want by myself?
