Is the power supply interrupted when the vehicle ignition is started?

NO. The power supply is not interrupted. If your vehicle port charges when it is off, you should be fine. But also consider that leaving it for extended times can drain your battery.

This would depend on the vehicle. Most cigarett lighter sockets are powered straight to the battery in vehicles. If yours is powered continuously then there will not be any interruption.

I paid little attention if the power was interrupted in answer to the question. The inverter operated to my satisfaction except that the heaviness of it occasionally fell out of my lighter receptacle,

Yes it is, It's activated and remains on as long as it is supplied with the 12volt signal wire. I set it up to be activated by my ignition switch, isolating my deep cycle from the starting battery while the engine is off. Only issue is the througput voltage was restricted below 12volts during operation with engine running which did not produce enough volts to recharge the deep cycle. Measured voltage with engine running was around 11.6 volts.

You have to manually push the button on the power supply unit to start. Even you use a timer, you will still need to push the button.

Can't answer as I sent unit back right away as soon as I read don't use if engine is on - and that's the only way my power outlet have power.

If you find the right 12V connection in the car, one that energises when the ignition is on say, just use that for the 12V input to the monitor

No because it's reprogramming the computer you have to have the ignition on but not start the vehicle but you can press it and it'll reprogram when you turn the vehicle off and turn the ignition back on

I believe that is untrue. That owner likely misfired his unit. There should be a primary wire to power that is turned on by the ignition key. I think there is a secondary line that goes direct to battery so that the presets do not get lost.

My outlet stays on when my vehicle is turned off. Most outlets are not powered when ignition is off in which case the lights would not work.

Yes, but you still have to unplug it when you start your car. Also if its anything like the one of got it wont last more than a few hours anyway.

Yes it'll power up once you start the car as long as it is plugged in the CIGarette lighter sochet.

Probably YES. It sounds like a defective item. Mine starts up whenever the power is turned on (the car is turned on) without any switch pushing or whatever.

No, but it does not matter the red cable on one post from battery and the other one goes to the starter and the ignition wire plugs into the tab. Also a black ground wire is bolted to the mounting bracket of the solenoid. hope this answer your question.

Starts as soon as power supplied. You have to be careful not to leave it plugged in all the time or it could drain your battery. I leave mine plugged in every where I go and unplug it at night. Some cars like mine give you the option of continuous power when the car is shut off or a separate plug to shut it down, when car turns off.

When your take your keys out of the ignition... it turns off the ability to draw power from your car battery. You wouldn't have a problem with this.

Yes . Has to be connected to power output with power only when engine run .

I dont believe it does. My car turns all power off to it when I turn the ignition off so has never been an issue for me.

Unplug it when you start the car. States a power surge could ruin the internals of the panel if left plugged in while engine is running/charging. Plug it in to charge when vehicle won't be driven for awhile. Unplug it before starting the car.
