The PowerGorilla was actually designed as a external battery for a wide selection of Laptop computers which will take these voltages of 16V ,19V and 24V. Most auto cigar adapters are designed to take voltages from 12V to 18V or higher to regulate the voltage down below 12V and require a few volts overhead. e.g. you will typically need 12V to regulate down to 9V or need 15V to regulate down to 12V.
So to power something like a Asus Eee rated at 9.5v, 2.315A you would still need something like this.

The Regulator for the Laura Digital TV would take an input Voltage of 11V to 30V and switch mode the voltage down to 5V for the input. An old Palm IIIc cigar adapter would take a DC voltage from 10V to 33V for example.
Smaller handheld devices can be powered using the 5V USB connection.
Most 12v solar cells are typically 15.8V cell output.
for other voltages such as 1.5/3/4.5/5/6/7.5/9/12Vdc etc then a variable switching DC-DC voltage power adaptor may be required and connected to the cigarette adaptor in the same way as the Laura TV was connected.
