Unclear on the charging system...some reviews state it does not come with a charger...Do I need to use my existing cigarette lighter charger?

It does not have an internal chagrin system you will still have to plug your charger straight to your phone. But by the picture they showed online it clearly shows an charging port on the mount itself and they also claimed that in the description which is falsely advertised

Yes, You use your existing cigarette lighter. The power cord that goes from your cigarette lighter to the unit plugs into the back of the mount. Then from the mount is a power cord that plugs into the phone. You can not plug the cord from the cigarette light directly into the phone because they have different ends.This system does not have It's own power system as advertised. This is a nice system for the money though.

Yes, it does come with a charger. You may want to purchase a memory card to enhance the memory. The internal memory is not sufficient in my opinion.

I did not keep this unit but returned it. I do not think it a good idea to charge it using a cigarette lighter. It might be very dangerous. Check with professionals in this matter.

You have to connect the charger into converter, otherwise it will not work. Your own charger, isn't included.

My understanding is that has to be charged on the charger and I have never tried, but I ma sure you will need to use the charger.

I'm no expert, but these battery chargers are designed to be connected to the battery directly. I would suspect the cigarette lighter has an in-line fuse somewhere between the lighter and the battery that may be below the amperage designed for charging.

I think you have to hook it up with your cigarette lighter or car electronics. That's why I never installed it.....There's always the possibility that I'm wrong. :)

It doesn't have a cigarette lighter plug on it. But I have a 100w cigarette plugin inverter that I used and plugged the 120v plug from the radio into that so the radio would charge up. It charges when the radio is only in the off position FYI.

No it's not a portable charger, it needs to be plugged into the cigarette outlet of your car. From there you plug a USB cable into the front of it for whichever type cord your phone requires.

It comes with a car charger if I believe correctly, at least that's what i have. The charger is similar to the micro usb charger but it's a little bit narrower, I'm not sure what is the name of that particular charger but I'm sure it has a name. I hope I answered your question, thanks for your question if you need anything else please feel free to ask.

Gail, the cig lighter function is for maintaining a battery on another vehicle. I doubt you could charge a battery on a vehicle you're trying to charge. I'm using mine to keep my motorcycle battery charged but I do have the charger plugged into an electrical outlet...Not into the cig lighter...Hope this helps.

No, it comes with its own charger. You will probably need an adapter to accommodate the new model. To be sure you should check with the manufacturer.

No, I have to plug it into my car lighter for it to work during trips, It did not come with a charger.

No cigarette lighter charger, but you could use a proper wattage/amperage power converter plugged into your cigarette lighter socket and then plug the Black & Decker AC charger into that.

It only comes with the car charger. I wouldnt recommend trying to find a converter either. These things catch on fire easily if they're overpowered.

You have to connect the USB to a converter that fits into the cigarette lighter. The converter was in the box with mine, and they are readily available in stores for a few bucks.
