Can you charge this unit using your car lighter?

I did not keep this unit but returned it. I do not think it a good idea to charge it using a cigarette lighter. It might be very dangerous. Check with professionals in this matter.

Yes if you mean a cig lighter power adapter. It also doubles as a traffic receiver.

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.

If you have a car adapter (for the lighter plug) I would imagine it would. But the device uses constant power so using it while the car is off would probably drain your battery. But make sure the adapter you use will provide continuous power, if not you might get a lot of drops or disconnections.

You can charge your unit with you computer's USB port using the cable provided. You can also charge your unit with your car's cigaret outlet using the same cable using the cigaret adapter plug attached to the computer cable....as far as operating the unit. Follow the instruction manual....not easy but it works.

Yes, if you had a lighter adapter to usb . the charger cable is mini port (like for phone)s to USB. So you can charge it off computer or wall adapter or cigarette lighter.

You can use any standard USB charger. I have both a wall charger (normally used for iphones or android phones) and a car charger (USB charger for lighter).

NO. You will need a USB - car charger. Look under Lumina car charger. Good Luck :-)

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. It's a 12v like car cig lighter. I attached it to my Motorcycle battery so I can charge my phone when riding. Like use gps etc. Make sure you add fuse to wiring!

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 will have to get an inverter to charge from a car. Auto Zone has them, I bought one that sits in a cup holder and plugs into your cig lighter works great.

No, it's a wall charger. The only way you could use it in your car would be if you had an AC/DC adapter.

Yes, you can charge these by using a USB/cigarette lighter socket instead of the standard 110 volt charger, or if you have one of the newer SUV's there is most likely a 110 Volt inverter plug in the car which will allow you to connect the dual-lead charger that comes with the radios, either of which can power and charge the radio(s) while you drive. There is a waterproof rubber plug on the body of the radio which is where the charger plugs in so you can charge it from any solar recharger, backup power supply or any laptop USB type connector. Mine came with the 110 volt wall charger and a headset for each of the two radios but I had a stack of USB to mini-USB connector cables from previous electronics that worked quite well to recharge from USB ports. There is also a quick charge stand available you just slide the radios down into like a telephone handset charger/cradle as well, but it's an option/accessory. Hope this helps, I intend to buy two more myself.

Personally , I wouldn't recommend doing that .Follow the manufacturers manual on charging methods and you should get good service from the unit .

Yes. It comes with a wall charger and a secondary method to charge it from a vehicle. The wall charger is the quickest and safest method to use.

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.
