I need a charger suitable for use in a vehicle while driving to charge your Acer Predator Helios 300 from 2018. I've spent many hours trying to find the right one to avoid damaging my laptop. I'm unsure whether to choose an OEM or a universal option.

That's an inverter. I'm searching for a cigarette lighter or accessory charger. Can I charge directly from the cigarette or accessory port using the proper cord?

This helps you avoid the trouble of searching for the correct charger that won't damage your laptop.
I'm not confident in using universal chargers, particularly for costly devices like a laptop.

Sorry, I'm with ThatVietGuy. There are numerous charger setups that make it risky to attempt a direct connection from the lighter port to your laptop unless it was explicitly available when purchasing the device. Using an inverter is the proper and secure solution for this issue.

I understand, you already have a 300 watt inverter, so you might just proceed with that. Thanks for your help and the responses.

12v to 110v inverter works seamlessly throughout.

To confirm this: no. A typical cigarette lighter provides 12V, while your laptop needs 19V. You can't simply use a cord that fits your laptop since it won't supply enough voltage. If you need to adjust the voltage, you might need an inverter.
