Can I use the car cigar lighter outlet to charge this? I have to purchase a "cigar to cigar" cable I suppose?

Yes, a car can charge these and some cables like the Clore ESA1 or Schumacher SAC-109 are available just for that purpose. See my reviews of them for some info on using them including if this has a switch to turn off the lighter outlet, remember to turn it "on" so the cars power connects to it's battery.

Unsure of the question. As far as I can recall, there is no cigar socket on my unit. I charge the unit from house current and use it on a vehicle by clipping on to the battery terminals of the car needing the jump. Have only used it once and it worked well. I guess if you wanted to do it, you could use a cigar cable in addition to jumping the battery.

You would need power inverter, one side looks like a cigarette lighter plug connection that plugs into your car. The other side is a power box with a 110v plug , it should have a wall outlet looking connection which is what you plug the charger up to.

Yes to both. It comes with a cord for charging from a cigar lighter socket, but not for the 120VAC. You have to supply your own cord for that.

If your radio FM works, then you are set, it's a FM transmisor, it transmit from the dock to the radio. The cigarrete lighter is to provide power to the dock. If your iPhone can sit on the dock, that's all that you need. If it doesn't fit then you can use the line in from your headphones jack to the dock. (the usb is a charger)

Yes and no... If you vehicle as cigaret light with constant 12V without key in the ignition then you can. This charger put out max 5amp or so it is okay to use. If you have to use with ignition on then you are wasting the charging so I would use battery terminal

I use a cigarette lighter adaptor and plug it into this extension cable . You can find one on amazon .

Yes it comes with a charger for the cig lighter in the car. My Grandson uses it in his car and it works plenty good.

You will have to get an inverter to charge from a car. Auto Zone has them, I bought one that sits in a cup holder and plugs into your cig lighter works great.

You should be able to use it from a power inverter that plugs into the lighter and gives you an A/C outlet.

I believe you can charge this through the cig. lighter as long as your vehicle is running, otherwise you wld charge through 110 wall socket.

Yes, you can connect it inside your car (actually thats what i did) and yes you can connect it on the cigarrette lighter, just recommmend you that if you ate going to do it like that go to an specialized person because you'll need some welding

Sure is, several ways you can do this basically i'd grab one of these http://goo.gl/s3luSY with this u can use cigarette lighter plug .. or cut the cig lighter plug part off, shore the wires and use either alligator clips or an extended piece of wire if necessary and connect directly to your battery just dont get the + and - wrong. Hope this helps somewhat. - Steve

Yes, if you had a lighter adapter to usb . the charger cable is mini port (like for phone)s to USB. So you can charge it off computer or wall adapter or cigarette lighter.

Yes, it charges from your cars cigarette lighter port... I used aligator clips to charge from another 12 volt source... if you do try that make sure you dont hook it up wackwards (like I did)...luckily I only blew the fuse in the charger.

Cig lighter is not the preferred method to power a cb radio as grounding is usually not as good and can give electrical noise through the cb speaker. But technically it will work. Amazon search "Roadpro 12V Fused Replacement Cigarette Lighter Plug with Leads". This is a quick one i found. You can "butt connect", "spade connect", bullet connect" or solder your connections. Very easy to do.

No. There is a solution. I made some modifications to the output wiring by cutting the output wire short and adding a 15 amp Anderson Power Pole connector because it has much lower contact resistance. The connecting cables are 10 gauge Zip cord. The panel-to-charge-controller cable is 50 feet long (to be able to put/keep the panel in the sun) and has a less that 2% voltage drop at 2 amps, more than 16 volts into the charge controller. I made a cigarette lighter socket adapter using another A.P.P. connector. To get USB charging I use a dual port 12vdc input cigarette lighter USB charger. I also use the cig ltr adapter to power a 1 foot long white LED light bar at about 125 ma which has lasted all night (about 11 hours) on my small, light weight, 3 Amp Hour 12 vdc sealed lead acid battery. You can find the Goal Zero connectors at Radio Shack. With some 16 or 18 gauge wire you can make your cigarette lighter adapter, and/or put 3 white LEDs in series to make a nice night/emergency light. Not quite as efficient, but less expensive.

You need to connected to a 12 volt battery and is very important to use at least no. 4 cable to be sure the stuffs you connect runs well. Is too big for a car lighter but work.
