Can you use the unit to run 12 volt accessories, such as GPS?

It does not have a port you can plug any accessories into. So you wouldn't be able to run a gps, phone etc.

In order to recharge the car's battery, the Simple Start unit puts out a higher than normal voltage that could damage other products. I wouldn't risk it, even if you find a way to wire up other things. If you need a portable cigar lighter socket, try a portable starter pack or similar product that has a 12V socket.

Yes, you may, if the trailer supplies 12VDC. Note however, that this item is not waterproof, therefore it must be protected from the elements.

I used mine on a 4 unit - 6 volt battery bank in my RV. If they make a unit for 12 volt batteries I don't know. Contact the manufacturer

Yes you can, assuming a USB port is always available to you. When travelling by car I prefer to have the ability to charge by USB, auto 12v socket, or standard 110 household socket. There is a wealth of options of what you can buy with a Garmin plug on one end of a wire and the plug on the other.

This unit is DC powered, so I'm assuming you are referring to a DC powered system where you are wiring directly to a 12V DC power source... try it!

No, you have to connect it to your battery or a/c. You can use the 12 volts that runs the system.

Yes or you could use other 12v socket in the car, it's actually better than hooking up to power directly ..when you turn of the car it turns of the monitor.

You can try it, but you must bear in mind that if you use a 12v charger on a 6v item you may have more power than you need and you may damage what you're trying to power.

No. You will damage the unit. This is a switching power supply designed for a 12v output only.

Yes it can be used with any 12 V source of power. But however it is not bright enough for what I needed

Sure can , but 12v is going to be LOUD .... I ran mine with 9 volts and you can hear it far away !

You should be able to no problem. Just don't use the small 12v transformer that comes with it.

Unit requires 12VDC to operate. Any off the shelf 12VDC power supply or wall adapter rated 500mA or greater should be capable of powering the unit.

Yes. You can recharge 12v batteries with this unit. You can also charge cell phones and other portable electronic devices that use a 12v socket like you find in your vehicle to recharge. We carry cables for all sort of connectors; such as eye hooks, terminal post, or 12v male/female sockets.

Don't forget you need to have access to plug into 110v for this power supply to operate, if you will, then it would operate your 12 volt device.

It should be able to. 12v plugs right into the back. Make sure the connector is compatable.

You can. I wired mine into a fused 12 adaptor (10 bucks at Rafio Shack) that I plug in to my 12v/cig outlet when we use the units.
