Can the battery be recharged from a 12 volt system, like a cigarette lighter plug?

No. It's a generic plug. And just so you know, the charge only lasts for about 8 hours.

Doesn't have a 12V plug but the best method is to connect directly to the battery as that provides the best power and lowest ignition noise. The cigarette lighter socket is a lower rated outlet and while this radio doesn't pull that much amperage it could overload it.

Yes you can, input is 12v DC so you can go directly from cigarette lighter to the booster. Battery charge progress is displayed on the LCD screen and will tell you when to disconnect.

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.

Yes, it needs to be plugged into a 12 volt "cigarette lighter" power outlet to work.

Hello Yes, we sell an accessory that allows you to charge batteries from a 12 volt cigarette lighter source for $10.00 additional, thanks, Vince

Yes, at 12 volts and about 0.5 amps. This system was designed to trickle charge batteries and keep them topped off. I use them on my golf carts and boats and parked vehicles to keep the batteries topped off.

Yes. By using the cigarette lighter connection that comes with the 600 connected through the charge controller. be sure to connect the positive line to the center post of the lighter connection and the negative to the outside connection an easier way wold be to buy a 12 volt socket so it can easily be used for other 12 volt devices

Indeed, you can use a 12V battery or you can rewire the cigarette plug to have constant power.

It has leads for battery connection. You could easily modify for cigarette adapter. A simple lighter plug blank could be found on amazon.

Yes, it plugs into any 12 volt DC power outlet in your vehicle. Those don't have to be cigarette lighters.

No it has to be charged from 120v, get a converter for your cigarette lighter that converts 12v to 120v. Black and Decker makes a small good one that will work for under $15

Yes, you can, and you would just need an adapter to convert the 12v lighter plug to the 110v which is inexpensive.

I wired mine into an always hot cigarette lighter jack. But you could run on a 12V battery but I am not sure how long it would run. Would depend on your battery.

No you can't. However, if you wanted to, you can get a converter that will convert the 12 vdc to 110 vac via car lighter and plug into that. Beware! the converters use a lot of battery power in the power conversion process.
