Has anyone used this on an airplane? Often times I travel and have a cigarette lighter outlet available, but it's hard to confirm compatibility online

If its a 12 volt power port the invertor will work fine . I use it all the time in an 18 wheeler for various things

Standard plug, weights less than one pound I should think, battery life will depend on type used so difficult to say, I used it off and on with a standard alkaline battery on a 14 hour flight and it was fine.

That's odd. Mine didn't have one and I bought it soley for use on an airplane. I've used it on about 10 international flights. At first, I thought the flight attendants might say something. But I've never had anyone say anything. I did mention it to a Microsoft scientist sitting next to me. Even though I bought the thing, I have my doubts about the science. When I mentioned it to the scientist, however, he said there is some scientific support for the technology employed by the device.

Sorry, I have never used it on an airplane, therefore I can not answer the question.

I don't know if you can use it on an airplane. Check with the airlines. You can plug it into your computer. It has the capability to work with a USB port. Not much help. Sorry.

I've been carrying it on airplanes.....haven't had anything mentioned about it, however I'm in Alaska no telling where you are from. Best answer......if in doubt ask your airlines

I cannot say if it is okay to take on an airplane, but it is so inexpensive order a couple and have them shipped to where ever you are going. I bought this for thru hiking the Appalachian Trail but it is too heavy so my BBQ now has a fire igniter that will last for a couple of years. And I agree with M. H. Hughes, why try to fight TSA, you will lose for a couple of dollars.

I've never used it on an airplane but from using it in my car I would say yes. It doesn't stick out very far. Hope this helps somewhat!

Depends on how long the trip is. I use mine on a regular basis every month on a 250 mile trip. Works great, just wish I'd bought the square one instead of the rectangle one. It's great for sodas and such but the square one will accommodate larger items. Hope this helps. You should buy the adapter, as I did. You can get it pre-cooled or heated before your trip, and plug it in to 110v when available.

No don't try it -doesn't stay charged as long as you wish! If you could use it the airplane mode will be best to save usage hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!

Yes, it works with either car lighter outlet and it's actually a great thing to have. Third phone to car device I've had and it's the only one that's lasted more than a month or two.

Absolutely! My boss and I frequently fly and we play games or watch movies which we all know drains our battery quickly. So long as you have to appropriate charging cords in tow, you can use this power bank to charge your devices. I have reviewed most airplane rules and have found it is not against regulations to carry on a battery bank, or use it while in flight. So long as security can scan it and make sure it is legit. No one has said anything to us during the hours and hours on our flights. Just don't swing it around your head and run up and down the isles and you should be fine.

From my testing 5ish up to a shade over 7 depending on the voltage you are currently at. if you are at 14.5V or so closer to 5 amps as the voltage drops on a battery system it creeps up closer to 7 amps. All cig lighter ports seem to be rated at 10 Amps so you should have no problems. On long trips I actually had no problem letting it run in my truck while I get some sleep at a hotel. Just make sure you have a good battery designed for deep cycling if you are going to let it run over night.

Yes, a nice one. It comes ready to use when traveling, it has 12v cigarette-lighter type plug to use in typical automotive 12v power outlet. It also accommodates 120/240 volt and 50/60 Hz so it works in Europe and Africa, etc. Works anywhere!

Not unless the standard plug fits the airplane outlets. It doesn't come with extra plugs.

Hi Malcolm, as far as I know this device does need a cigarette lighter connection. I believe that's the only way it will work. I hope this helps. :-)
