why can't you just use a male to male cable from the cig,lighter to the jump starter outlet

I use this to save the memory in the computer and sometimes the cig lighter isn't completely reliable

I have an inverter I use that I plug into my cig lighter, if you can wait until I get a chance to test mine...............I should be able to get back to you with an answer on Tuesday or Wednesday. Tim

can only be connected to battery. No sources like DC plug or 12V adaptor for cigarett lighter.

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.

The charger can be plugged into an AC outlet or use the cord to use it on an cig-lighter plug in your car for DC

Your car has to be able to charge the battery that way so i'd check your owners manual just to be safe if you havent already. but we had a Toyota Prius and the ignition battery died so bought this and a quick jump kit. we jumped it from the cig lighter anytime the car wouldn't start. we never left it plugged in longer than to start the car.hope this helps!

I am not sure what exactly you want to jump star. Is it a computer, power supply etc... You have to be careful and read the specifications of the equipment that you are working on. The reason why I returned this is because it was creating a short circuit in the cable that is connected to box so it work on the sonny laptop that I have and it charged. But for some reason it was creating a short circuit I saw the sparks

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.

the only fuse is with your cig. lighter outlet; make sure another piece of eqpt. works there and if not replace the fuse in your fuse block for the cig. liter

Make sure you haven't blown the glass fuse in the cigarette lighter adaptor(little 1.5 amp fuse if I remember it correctly)That fuse is located just inside the plug that you'd insert into your lighter socket. Also make sure your cig lighter/accessory socket itself hasn't blown the fuse. If both of these are good, your unit is toast. You can get a remanufactured one from Magellan for about $80, but I have not had good luck with them (these things are notorious for going south every time you upgrade your maps).

The primary problem is that the Cigarette Lighter (so-called "Accessory Power Outlet" now) is limited to 3-5 amps (in "old" vehicles), or about 8-12-?15 amps (recent vehicles), and there is no home-made way to limit that current--you could be blowing fuses or melting insulation.... That means UNSAFE! ...The best approach is to use jumper cables, but try not to explode one of the batteries when you connect the cables!

It's designed to be used with portable jump starting devices that usually have a cigarette lighter port on them. I've also used mine with a cigarette lighter to battery adapter like this one - http://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-Battery-Clip-On-Cigarette-Lighter/dp/B00065L2D8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383415417&sr=8-1&keywords=battery+cigarette+lighter+adapter - I've used it with either a motorcycle or car battery sitting on the floor of the car. If you use the battery sitting on the floor of the car method, be sure to triple check the polarity before plugging the cable into the OBD port in the car.

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.

I'm not sure. You can plug an additional cig outlet into the device. The grey part flips open... I've always had my phone plugged in via headphone jack. And only used the USB/cig outlet to charge it at the same time

If you have the basic skills then yes. Looks to be a transformer though, you could purchase an auxiliary power port, similar to a cigarette lighter, hard with that and then plug it it. That would be best cause the on/off switch is on the transformer that lugs into the lighter.

they do not have a cigarette adapter plug included, so you would need to make your own, or hard wire to the power source behind your car adapter.

It uses 12 V, does not connect to cig have to hardwired into the 12v source
