Is this better than a generic cigarette lighter 5v USB adapter if that adapter provides the amps I need (only 1.5a)?

Keep in mind this is more a permanent wired in solution vs. something like a cig lighter charger.Also FYI, I've had one of these burn up and slightly melt on me. I'd suggest putting this converter in a metal project box just in case.

Would be according to fuselage. Check out the specs for each unit,decide which units come the closest to matching in use,size,units, then use them

This would run cooler and how many lighter adapters will give 1.5 Amps ? Dave

Hi They should work more or less the same. The usb chargers also contain a step down circuit. There are some usb chargers that provide lots of As as well. I use my keedox in a solar power system and it is a bit easier to deal with than messing withtiny usb cable wires. You should test if you usb charger actually provides enough As. Some do not.

The amplifier is powered by 12v DC @2 amp. The AC adapter that comes with the unit provides 10-14.4 DC volts (I verified this with a voltmeter). Because I have no reason to, I have not tried to connect the amplifier to a cigarette lighter adapter. I do believe however, that it should work. I don't believe a power inverter is necessary, just a simple adapter connector from the lighter to the amplifier. As far as hooking it up to audio equipment in a car or truck, that would depend on what you have.

This lighter comes with a USB cord (about 6" long) that you plug into your computer or you can buy a 12v adapter for your car. I do both and it works really well.

You can get the cigarette lighter adapter on Amazon. Firstgear 951-2843 POWER PORT PLUG ADAPTER

Mine came with a 5A 250V fuse. Either way if yours comes with less, a 5A is appropriate to install as most cig lighters are fused at 7 - 10 amps and no radio should use more than 2 - 3 amps unless it is "modified."

Any USB adapter like this one: http://tinyurl.com/cmgu5td1+ Ampere is better.

Yes, your device will only pull Amperage (mA) it needs. In your case 500mA. Adapter is capable of providing up to 2000mA.

Yes. A cigarette lighter adapter will absolutely work. You would need to connect a miniature plug on the other end that fits where the wall supply normally goes.

You can buy such a thing. Any piece of equipment that has the option of using a 12V Cigarette Lighter socket will naturally work. Other than that, you would need to use a 6V power regulator (which is very simple/cheap to make). I am assuming that you need something more than USB power, which already exists on the unit via USB Charge Ports. Here at Amazon, you want something like this, which is pretty easy to implement: http://www.amazon.com/Converter-Module-12v-20v-Supply-Adapter/dp/B00OTQWK9U/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1428944314&sr=8-8&keywords=12v+to+6v+power+regulator I think I will go buy one of these for myself today, thanks for bringing this up! I am sure that I can get this to fit inside and install a jack.

Yeah, but it might take a little longer than a higher amped DC adapter. And it will hear up and smell like burning plastic. I fear this is a fire hazard and threw one away cause I just didn't trust it.

It is a standard 5.0V micro USB connection, and the provided adapter is rated at 1.0 amp.

It should hook up right to your cigarette lighter (if your cigarette lighter is fully functioning), no adaptor needed....But I had issues with mine (it broke on first use) and had to return it. If it's not working for your car, I would return it.

You still should be able to use this, just put it into a 15A outley and then a 15A fuse in the holder. I used it to power a lighter I installed. I put the fuse adapter in a 15A fuse spot, ran the wire then inserted the fuse. It worked fine. Just make sure you have the right type of fuse tap.

Hello. I own two of these. I am not positive about the answer because I do not own the cigarette lighter adapter you are referring to. Probably, but to be sure.... go to www.bixpower.com or contact their customer service at Tel. 949-727-4151, Fax. 949-727-4156,E-mail: bixpower@bixnet.net I called them with questions prior to purchase and they wer extremely helpful. BTW, the power packs are working great for us so far. Peter
