Can you plug in to car cigarette lighter?

That is a good question. I actually walked outside to the shed to check. No, I did not see that capability. However, it has a rechargeable battery which you can charge with the included charger. It also can run off regular D batteries. Maybe if you have some AC capability in your vehicle you could charge the battery like that.

It uses a 12 volt for power so a cigarette lighter in a car works. I'm not sure how you would plug it in inside

No. This is for your home. Or any where that a "cig lighter style outlet" is needed and not present. So lets say u have a car charger for ur cell phone. U could plug the cell charger into this device if it was plugged in say at home in the house.I use it for my portable xm radio that plugs into my boat/ car. Using this I can plug it in at home or anywhere else I travel for parties ect and dont have to find a car outlet.

No, it plugs into a USB port, so if you have one in your car or have a USB cigarette lighter adapter you can use it.

Yes, the included cigarette power adapter will power the unit by simply plugging into your vehicles cigarette lighter socket.

You have to connect the USB to a converter that fits into the cigarette lighter. The converter was in the box with mine, and they are readily available in stores for a few bucks.

No it does not have a cigarette lighter plug. You only need a power source if you want the light to work. The compass is magnetic

i do not recommend pluging into car lighter plug. the unit draws too much power. it comes with clips to hook directly on car battery terminals. they do come smaller and can be plugged into lighter but they have less power (watts). figure out hqw many watts you draw and add 20 percent more and buy a power inverter with that power draw. you can not draw more power than the inverter puts out or the power inverter will blow. these power inverters are great when power goes out. you can run 25 watt floresent bulb for over a day with them on a mid size charged car battery, or even a tv. you do not need to keep a generator running all the time. i have two car batterys charged all the time if power goes out. i also have portable solar pannels 12 volt to charge batterys. this is a hobby for me.

Yes, if you wire it that way. You can just plug into your cigarette lighter and if it is active when the car if off you are all set. If it is not active you need to find another aux plug-in point that is active. If they all shut off, you need to get a mechanic to wire one to stay on. Mine goes off when I shut off the car. NOTE: do not cut off the plug in and wire directly. These are not 12volt, and the transformer is in the plug in.

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

This unit has a car lighter plug- in. You can purchase an adapter that will convert the lighter plug- in to an electrical outlet.

Yes you can. The charger base has an adaptor that pops out of the back to plug in a wall outlet. That is mainly how I charge mine. The car adaptor is nice when your away for a quick charge on the fly. Hope it helps. Works great for me.

You can plug it in to the cigarette lighter. But it uses kilometers not miles and I haven't figured out if I can change it or not. I don't think I can for that reason I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise it was okay.

No I bought it for my car.. plugs right into the cigarette port. The only problem is it cannot reach to my trunk! :-(
