can you use a car cigarette lighter to inflate?

You could use a car cigarette lighter if you have a converter to turn it into alternating current instead of direct current that the car lighter offers.

Yes it can. You will need to supply the Cigarette Lighter's. It does not come with one. Very good item.

No, but you can buy a y plug that converts your outlet into 2 outlets http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Dual-Port-Cigarette-Lighter-Adapter-Black/dp/B00511PTWM

There is a USB converter. It goes into car lighter, and has USB connections other end. Usually pretty cheap, can even find at local dollar stores.

NO. That is only to charge as per directions, you cannot use the inflator while it is being charged

I am not an expert on this matter, but I think you can use a DC to AC converter (ie Cobra CPI 480) which can be used with either the cigarette lighter or direct to car battery cable attachments.

yes. there is no other way to get air into the mattress. I don't think you have to have it plugged in to keep it inflated. You might be able to inflate it using your car plug. just a thought. I haven't try it.

No, it doesn't. I wouldn't recommend as a driver, but as a passenger getting a rest from the driving you could try using an electric converter with your cigarette lighter (sold at Amazon) but it doesn't work directly.

I would not buy this item. Power is way too small to inflate using cigarette lighter. I should have bought one with multiple power source--outlet as well as cigarette lighter. Never could get item to work.

Seems to me you can charge it in your car using a voltage inverter plugged into your lighter.

If the tire pump works off a standard "cigarette lighter-type" plug in in a car, then yes. I know newer cars do not have a cigarette lighter anymore but they have a similar outlet for charging electronics. Mat

This particular model does not, but I bought a converter from radio shack that plugs into cigarette lighter and allows for you to plug into that.

After seeing Vicky's response, I see what you were asking now. However that wall plug only supplies 500ma. The compressor is fused at 20 amps and most cigarette lighters supply 10-15 amps. Therefore the adapter wont supply enough current to drive the compressor or may even blow the adapter's fuse. Looks like its designed to drive phone chargers and electronic devices. If there is one that supplies the equivalent amperage as a normal cigarette lighter socket then go for that one.

Not unless you want to. It runs off the car battery as supplied through the cigarette lighter (accessory power outlet). Depending on he vehicle, you may have to have the ignition key turned to the on position to have access to battery power, but you don't necessarily have to have the engine running. I would only run the engine if your battery power is low or if you're going to spend forever inflating multiple items.
