Adapt by cable from auto battery ??

I don't know about that. It runs on regular batteries, plus there's no place to attach to car battery. Why would you do that anyway?

It should be possible, but if you have to ask if its possible you probably couldn't / shouldn't do it. It takes 3 AAs which is about 4.5volts, USB is 5 volts which is probably in the safe voltage range for this. So in theory you could plug in a USB adapter to bring the 12v down to 5v. Then cut the other end off the USB cable. Find a plug type connection and solder one end onto that cord. Solder the other side of the plug to another wire. Finally solder the end of the second length of wire to the battery terminals inside the light. However if you aren't 100% sure how to do it safely don't attempt it. Also, of course, this would void the warranty. It should be possible, but if you have to ask if its possible you probably couldn't / shouldn't do it.

No cables with mine either. Be sure to use heavy gauge copper cables. I found some long battery cables with the lugs soldered on at the auto parts store.An inline fuse at the battery end is also the best way to go.

The problem is you want a direct connection to your battery for something like a HAM 2m/70cm (or HF). your regular cigarette adapter in the car won't't carry enough amps to properly output what you need in full tx power. so this isn't going to create a bottleneck. It won't create an interference

Your own cable will work fine. . . its a great battery and the most versatile as far as charging it goes. I am able to charge from a solar panel with varying output levels without issue. Highly recommend.

You need an adapter to plug into the house plug or connect to a car battery

I could. Just had to plug my cable and check if the battery level was ok. If you can specify what you did...

No this is a 'dumb' device. You'd need to get a metabones adapter for any electrical auto functions to work.

1,the closer the inverter is to the battery, the better it performs. 2, contact Tripp Lite tech support for the correct answer. 3, If you want to do it right, have your cables made by a shop that does it professionally, usually a qualified starter/alternator rebuilder or battery distributor can help you with that. 4, make sure that you use ring terminals/battery cable lugs that fir the studs on the inverter. I assume you are getting an inverter that is powerful enough to do your job. Mike

Not at all, I'm a 73 0ld female and know nothing about cars.. LOL Just put the red clamp on the battery terminal first then the black and plug it in. There are two cords that come with it, ignore the extra one, don't need it. If I can do it, anyone can. It saved my battery as I have an electrical problem that drains my battery. Good luck, hope this helps you.

I neded one for my 2013. but the cables for it are run from the battery to the front.

I do it myself. Just open the roof of the car and add it. Then pass all cables by one side and plug it. Nevertheless I have knowledge of installation... Good luck

you are going to need to use the male connector of this 2 pack Duratrax Battery Connectors Unwired (2-Piece) hope i can help you!

No sweat...most important step that most people skip is hook up to battery with no less than #4 welding cable. # 2 is what i used and never had an issue powering anything. If you cheat on this, it will kick out on you constantly. Auto parts store will have dual batt terminals for a few bucks for hook up. Sweet unit...:)

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.

probably though I haven't managed to find the cable anywhere. I left it plugged into the lighter (Auxiliary power outlet) and it kept running until it drained the battery.

Wellll, Yes it can, but you don't want to do it.Google and instructables dot com would be your friends here. At a high level the steps are:1. Identify + and - connections on battery.2. Break open battery case (preferably a dead one).3. Remove batteries.4. Add wires to battery contacts.5. Connect wire to a 12 volt DC power supply with 'enough' amps, or to your car battery (better watch that polarity!)But given the fact that a new battery is around 35 bucks - it aint worth doing.

Get an externle battry from EasyACC male sure its tells you it is for your device the battery in your device is a little to big for the smaller 3v off the panels its what I had to do brighT side is now I have a back up win the power is down for a while I hope this helps
