Is it possible to convert the wiring to another power source besides the cigarette lighter? My cigarette lighter is already powering a GPS.

Yes you can add a splitter to the cigerette lighter and then you can plug both in

No device works that way to my knowledge. The cigarette lighter/auxillary plug in your vehicle isn't wired in such a way that the battery can draw power from it.

In my car I'm running a shunt between the alternator and the negative terminal to read the amps, the power was tapped from a cigarette lighter wire. I believe running the tiny power wires to the shunt would fry them when cranking.

12v cigarette lighter, although im sure if youre savvy with hardwireing you could wire it in directly by taking apart the wire

I would not recommend it. The wire on the cigarette light adapter is not not rated for the amperage of the inverter.

No power is supplied by this wire. It is simply a wire with two different connectors enabling the user to connect a male 12 V cigarette lighter tip to a separate wire coming from the battery. E.g., on a motorcycle you'd have a different wire coming from the battery to this, which would give you the battery's 12 Volts and max Amps to the female cigarette socket on the outflow end. You'd then plug in your preferred charger into this end. You determine the output Volts and Amps by whatever charger you plug into this wire. All this unit does is to give you a female cigarette socket to use as you wish. There are no electrical components other than the wire and two plug-in adapters. It is an extension cord.

Get yourself a cheap 12v to 120v power inverter, plug it into your car cigarette lighter socket and blow it up that way.

Yes, you will need to wire it so that it is powered from a switched power source, or you can wire it directly and just remember to turn the GPS off when the bike is off. I actually grafted a power plug onto the end and plug the GPS into my power socket on the dash.

no i wouldnt thing so i hooked mine to a cigarette lighter plug you could possibly wire them both to the same plug if that helps?

No sir, this is not that kind of a power supply. But, you Can buy battery chargers, (a type of power supply), that will start automobiles. Just search for 'Battery Chargers' in Automotive.

I will have to get back to you on that question. I assume your inverter output is modified sine wave?Anyway i do belive you can charge the unit with dc power using a male male cord to go into your cigarette lighter. look up the manual online, it will say for sure.

It requires the AC power supply. I suppose you could plug it into an AC/DC converter and plug that into your cigarette lighter, but at that point I think you are getting more complicated than it's worth.

To the best of my knowledge, no. However, may I recommend goung to your locsl Radio Shack and purchashing an inverter that plugs into your cigarette lighter. It converts the DC

Depends on what you mean by that. There is a cable to use in the car which plugs into your cigarette lighter both powers and charges the GPS. This cable also has a radio receiver for the traffic alert function built into it. It does not come with a separate charger you can use to charge the GPS in the house.

Yes, I got a lighter socket from Radio Shack and wired it directly to the car battery. Just takes a small hole through the firewall to the engine compartment to run the wire. Then mountit under your dash. Works Great. Make sure to buy the large enough panel! (next size up from this one.

It just comes with bare wires so no you can not plug it into a power supply. You could very easily make it portable by purchasing an additional male cigarette lighter power supply plug. The way it comes, no.

The only thing you may need is extra wire, depending on how close you can mount the charge controller to the battery. A cigarette lighterplug is included. This eliminates the need to connect directly to the battery. The cigarette lighter option works only if the socket is alwayspowered.
