This will be going to a compatible device with a 500mah battery - power coming from 12 volt. Is this compatible? I don't want a fire in my car.

The power source is still good if you're using it for a Garmin or similar, I was just worried about the quality and who actually makes it.

No it isn't compatible. You can get a generic 12 volt battery on eBay for $30-$40 and have prolonged battery life.

Sorry. I'm not sure. I'm using it for my home alarm system. However, if the specs are similar, in your case, 12V 4.5Ah vs 12V 5.0Ah. It should be OK. The battery is a general purpose battery as long as the connectors meet your requirement. Of course, the battery itself is not water proof, so be careful for outdoor use. - Mike

I believe it would work just fine and it comes with voltage regulator. An inexpensive battery charger would work also if you keep the car near an electrical outlet.

If you have a 12 volt battery NO PROBLEM. I have it on a BMW and I plug it in if I'm not going to use it for days. I also have it on a Motorcycle. YOU MUST DISCONNECT BATTERY TENDER BEFORE STARTING UP.

For 500 watts I think the 30 Amp or larger (30 amp is rated at 450 watts max) charge controller might be a better match. Also this is a charge controller it doesn't really power anything but is meant more for charging of a battery system. You could then use the battery system either with or without an inverter to power your devices.

Yes. 12 volts. I use mine with 7 amp/hour battery like are used in home alarm systems. A car battery jumper pack will work.

If your using one 12 volt car battery out of the car it won't supply that current for any useable amont of time even if the converter was capableof doing that, which it is not. It could maintain 800 watts continuous if the battery was in the car with the car running maybe even 900 watts,but that's it. As far as the connection to the battery I'll reserve the "duh" and say: positive to post marked +, negative to post marked -.

It is only 12 volt with the standard car power outlet plug. You can buy a wall plug that converts to 12 volt and has the normal outlet as found in the car. I would think this would work fine.

theoretically it sounds plausible since your car adapters or cigarette lighters would be putting out 12v from your car battery anyway, and this sounds like the same type of configuration. Your usb/phone chargers usually run on 5 vdc so there is some step down of voltage that occurs with these chargers. But keep in mind this set up would not be fused like your car is You can buy external fuses for 12v batteries though and from a car battery you are probably going to draw about 13 plus volts directly from a fully charged 12v battery. I would connect an inverter that has a USB port.

Yes. It'll work in anything with a 12V battery, doesn't even need to be a car.

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.

Your device will only draw as much power (ma) as it needs. As long as the voltage is ok and required ma is at or above the needed level, you should be just fine.

This is an active device designed to be used within USB spec. Plugging it into a charger will not tell the charger to dump power as that would be a fire hazard, therefore your device will only charge at normal USB current of 500ma, on top of that, the device has a built in amplifier that feeds off of USB power, so the output will be slightly less than 500ma, I would only count on ~350 - 400ma output, which is not enough to charge some devices, especially tablets. Most USB peripherals will work, however some will require extra power.

Yes, a 12 volt power source will work. Also they supply a power cord to plug in a car lighter and you can install 8 D batteries. This is a fantastic BBQ. J-Guy from Qc

Never tried this before......but I have plugged many household devices into a 12 volt car adapter and they worked fine. I would suggest while toasting hot dogs...have the vehicle motor running.

I'm in disagreement with the other two, i think with the right cord it could be charged from a lighter or posibly a usb adaptor and cord. I wouldn't reccomend going direct because the output on the supplied charger is basically a trickle charger, 1000ma, and the lighter higher but with a little inginuity, it could be done. with the other ways you go from 12v to 120ac back to 12v.
