Will this run on those accessory lighter chargers that I see advertised powering other CB radios? I would love to transfer from car to car.

Yes, I installed a cigarette lighter type plug to mine and it works fine. I use my CB on trips only so I take mine out when not traveling over road.

I bought it for my son. He hooked it up to his CB radio. He said it would take some different type of wiring to do that and he isn't sure how to do that.

Yes it will. However, if I had to do it all over again I would just get one of the addapters that plug into the cig lighter. that runs it through the radio. I have not been that happy with it.

I'm not sure. I had my phone (a Samsung Galaxy Note 4) charging with a USB hub that was plugged into my cigarette lighter and was using Pandora through the bluetooth connection while doing it, and that seemed to work okay. But I haven't tried having the phone plugged into the USB connection on the radio because I haven't needed to - the bluetooth works great. I also use it for answering and talking on my phone. Hope this helps some.

Can't address the duel battery issue, I've never tried it. As for the lighter adapter, are you serious? If you can get the cord attached without cracking a window, more power to you! ;-)

Yes. It works in the lighter, as well as the power ports on newer vehicles.

all I'd say is "probably"... the standard chargers that come with the unit are just 12V 5amp, so as long as the car battery can output that current, shouldn't be a problem.. how it may drain the battery is something else, but the power consumption is pretty low (one of the benefits of LEDs), and if the car would be running, not an issue. Hope that helps.

Yes you can easily hook it up to a CB. I had this in my Jeep and it worked great till it got wet several times and started drawing power while the vehicle was off. But quick answer is yes you can as long as you have a PA option on your CB.

Not to run contrary to the folks providing all the technical expertise, but I have personally jumped my own car (4 cyl engine) from a rechargeable unit much less sophisticated than this AND plugged into the cigarette lighter/aux socket. Again, it was not this particular unit and, per the instructions, you had to wait several minutes. But it worked perfectly.

From my experience it pulls less than 3A. Very very minimal. I have a 10A fuse that runs my CB and this unit with no problems, and the total draw on that fuse is 6.2A, and I know the CB radio is approx 3-4A.

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. What's even better is you can get a $10 power converter that will convert that cigarette lighter into a usb power station, and you can now use this device in your car.

If you want to try to "charge" one car from another using the lighter plugs, I'd go with a device like the Wagan 9796 Jumper. That is intended for that purpose where it "limits" the power sent (to avoid burning fuses or wires from high draw going from a running car to a low battery), but also sends ~7 amps to be a fair charge rate.This is really for the purpose of recharging "jump-start" small battery packs while you are driving a car. The charge power will only be ~8 amps or less for that charging, jumping a car can pull 30+ amps that'll burn these wires.

B streets should not have anything to do with charger,it work great for my cart.It should work for you

It comes with a connector that fits on the bottom of the radio with a cord ending in a 12v cigarette lighter plug. If you want to use it for long term listening or Storm Watch mode at home you will need a 110v to 12v DC converter. Get one that puts out several amps of DC power. the light weight ones are not enough to charge and run the radio at the same time. With the charging cord attached the radio does not stand up because the cord comes out of the bottom. If you want it to stand up you will have to make a cradle for it.

Unfortunately, no. This converter is made to step up 12v to 24v. So vasically it is used to step from a normal 12v battery on your car, to run 24v accessories such as military lights, 24v radios, and miltary accessories. If you hook this up to something that is 24v already, it will think it is 12v and may burn it up. Hope this is helpful.

It's for a vhf radio I don't believe it will work for a cb. You can mount it on an angle as it is adjustable.
