Is the inc-12v male plug fused? If so for what amps? Any reason why it can't be used with a RoadPro RP-203EC 12V 12' Extension Cord with Cigarette Lighter Plug (which isn't fused)? I want to plug the road pro into an adjacent car, and then plug the...

No it is not fused. But the cigarette lighter circuit shoul be fused. Check your owners manual for that circuit. If you wired the circuit for the cigarette lighter direct to the battery put in a breaker circuit for the socket. The cable that you bought could handle about 25 amps I believe safely maybe more.

I have a 2005 Hyundai, and have the same problem. It's only because the outlets in older cars were meant for cigaret lighters, not for devices. Newer cars have deeper receptacles especially for charging devices, and can handle the longer plugs. This was not a deal breaker for me because I rent cars when I travel.

Hmmm ... the power cord is longer than any other cord in my system. If it is not long enough, use any heavy gauge grounded extension cord. The iPower lighting system has been great for me, hope I have answered your question satisfactorily.

Hi Jon, The cigarette lighter doesn't show any marking or model #'s, looks pretty standard. The only issue would be finding the correct size jack end to fit the port on the unit. The AC charger does show some info on the wall plug, "class 2 power supply, model# KU35-12-300D, input 120VAC60Hz 7W, Output 12VDC 300mA". Curious, why don't you just contact RoadPro directly and see if they offer replacement parts for their units? I have an address from the paperwork(RoadPro, 1875 Zeager Rd., Elizabethtown, PA 17022), perhaps you could find a corresponding # though which to reach them. Hope this helps.

As I recall, it's designed to accommodate any 3-prong extension cord. As a side note/possible alternative (if you have a battery charger) -- I have a similar unit from a different manufacturer and I lost its proprietary cord long ago. However, I have been charging it with my automotive trickle-charger, connecting the clamps from the trickle charger to the clamps on the jumpstarter. I've been doing this for roughly 10 years now and it has worked well.

This socket is rated for 12vdc,@15 amp only !!! This is not rated for a cigarette lighter, only for cell phone charging ,or radar dectector use . Also, the housing and bracket are made of plastic, so it needs to be connected to a ground with the black wire. I connected both red and black wires directly to battery terminals, for a great connection!!! Anyway, the housing won't rust and it does come with dust caps covering the sockets for outside use.

It does NOT have a 12VDC auto cord included. I'm not sure if the people who make Pepwave products offer a 12VDC cord. I was easily able to buy a 12VDC car cord at a Radio Shack or a Walmart. I brought my Pepwave into the store with me. I was quickly able to match an in stock adapter to the jack on my Pepwave. Works great in my RV (and vehicles) when I want / need to run the Pepwave off 12VCD. I'm sure Amazon would have the correct adapter too. The question is, will the tip on the adapter be the correct tip to match the jack on your Pepwave. Pepwave used to offer a battery pack but, it was crazy expensive (and that was before you figure the cost of batteries).

I know this is an old post but it may help someone. Interesting that they'd say 9-12V. It will probably work, but this is what I know about car electronics. I'm a product design and electrical engineer and I've developed lots of products that plug into car cigarette lighter sockets. The 12V power is really "noisy" meaning there are spikes and jolts and surges all over the place. It's a nominal 13.5V on most electrical systems, though the newer cars with advanced electronics may clean that up a bit. But here's the deal: The "nominal" (average) already exceeds their 9-12V spec, and when you consider the spikes and surges, I'd think you'd be risking blowing out your DVD unit to plug it in with a direct 12V cord. The 9V cord not only transforms it down to a lower input voltage, but it has a switching regulator that adapts very quickly to quell spikes and surges. The replacement adapter from Philips is $12, but hey, that already fried! It probably didn't "fry itself", but more likely was fried by the car you used it in which may have had worse surges than the average car. I would get the $20 one from Radio Shack (m/n 273-369). Take in your player to a store and they'll fix you up with the correct tip in the right configuration. I'm not insensitive to your need for economy, but you are risking frying your whole $130 DVD player for want of $10 or $20 for a good power cord. Go without those Lattes for a week and get a quality power cord.

To Delores: That is an excellent point. I did not realize the cigarette lighter socket is not in the usual locations. One would need to check the width of the ReVIVE PowerUP 4P Multi-port USB and compare to their own vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.

Electric cord to charge the unit + the usual tubing that attaches to the tire stem (Electric disconnected) Didnt work for me and I am still loking for a replacement. I still cant decide which other unit is better. Some blow fuses, but they sell an adapter to run unit directly off your car battery. Good luck and let us know if you have sucess.

I have a 115v 100W outlet in my Highlander....i guess this would not work then :(....dont want to blow up the fuse in my car!But thanks for posting this in the discussions. I wonder why Coleman or Amazon dont have this detail in the product specs.

Patrick: I cannot answer your question directly except to say that I looked up the spec's for your radio and it says that the vehicle power cord for this unit is rated at 5v output so it shoud work properly, (especially if the plug going into the radio fits properly). I hope this helps.... If it blows out the radio, then there is too much power going to the radio. If on the other hand, the power cord blows out and NOT the radio, then there is too much power going into the adaptor and it will blow the fuse therein. Make sure you only have 12v going into the power cord fromt he vehicle's battery.

I looked in the manual for anything to answer this and found nothing. As a mechanic though, I'd say as long as your using the lighter end supplied, I don't see a problem with that.... the lighter end does have a fuse, (3Amp fast blow) so IF something went wrong the fuse would/should protect both the charger and likewise, whatever it is plugged into. I've never done so with this, but routinely use a female lighter plug end with gator clips on opposite end to use battery power for all types of devices. On the other hand, if your asking will this CHARGE that battery.... I would have to say no. It's not designed to take a battery and charge (backwards) through the lighter plug.

Those are REALLY high draw devices that don't really work out on a 30 amp fuse, and the fuses this box take max out at 30A. For those types of things, I would run them right off the battery, I wouldn't bother with a fuse.... Kinda like a car starter, where there's no fuse. If you feel you must fuse them, there are some "Maxi Fuse" type things that might work, but I have no idea what the current draw of either item is. This is for the depth finder, the ignition, the horn, the lights, etc.

You cigarette lighter socket/Aux. Socket is likely fused with a 10, 15, 20 amp fuse. An attempt to put anything in that slot and draw meaningful power from it would instantly blow that cigarette lighter socket fuse. So no.

Hi, I believe you'll need to figure out what the amperage is of the power supplies that what you want to run and if anything else is running on the same circuit. I read in the reviews and elsewhere that you should use this accessory with a 15A or less fuse, so I have it on a circuit with 15A in my travel trailer. My laptop 12v power supply uses 3.5A, the Coleman 12v cooler uses 5A, the phone charger uses 1.5A I think. I have run the cooler and a charger at the same time without it melting or blowing a fuse. I did fry the last dual power outlet (different make, felt cheaper) with the same usage (Caveat: I am not an electrician and am just sharing my experience.)

I see there is a dc plug on mine but not sure if it is ment to be used in a cig lighter in a car I would call the company up and ask them would be best way to find out or go to radio shack or a store like that see if they have any thing like that. sorry i was not able to answer your question. this is a webpage to radio shack not sure if it is what ya need http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=13384949&kw=dc-12v%20adapters&origkw=DC-12V+adapters&sr=1
