Can I plug this coleman family-sized rugged rechargeable battery lanter in the car?

The plug that comes with it fits a two prong household socket. Coleman may have a twelve volt adaptor, but you would have to ask them.

Tony, per my experience yes--you can plug it in to the car if necessary, provided you have an outlet such as a cigarette lighter or aux power plug in the car. When I purchased my lantern it came with the car adaptor plug stored in the base of the unit. It is great to have as an emergency prep kit for snow, storms, etc. where you may find yourself stranded or in a vehicle waiting for assistance.

Sorry I never tried to do that and cannot remember if there is a car adapter.

Yes, it comes with both a 110 wall charger and a 12 volt car type plug charging cord. Both store in the base so they are always with the lantern.

I would say so! I swear by this thing. I keep it with me at all times for my laptop, cellphone. It had enough power to kill my Subaru car battery over night even though the switch was turned to off. Just make sure to unplug it from your car outlet immediately after you are done using it. Have fun camping!

You could run it like "Gravy" suggests: car battery >> cigarette lighter >> power inverter (ie AC out) >> adapter that comes with LP-2020A+ >> LP-2020A+ power input.An easier way might be: car battery >> (some sort of capacitor / circuit protection) >> LP-2020A+ power input. You'd probably need to know more about car electronics to go with the latter, though.

I'm using it for that purpose on my old Subaru. It comes with a small charge regulator to properly charge 12 volt batteries.

Yes, that is what I used. Works great. Need an adapter port for like in a cigarette lighter on the battery pack.

Hi there. For camping. and sleeping on the back of my pickup truck. Im using a 100 watt solar pannel connected to a 125 mah battery with a 1000 watt power inverter. I also use a 200 watt heater( smallest I could find) so I wont drain the battery so quick. in other words this one can be use as well in a setu up like mine or if you want to use it in your car battery you would need to connect the 1000 watt amp DIRECTLY from the car battery. DONOT connect it of cigaret outlet. it will blow the fuse since those dont allow to go up to 1000 watts. any questions just ask :)

Yes you can, but in the long run it's not good for the battery. It also has the car charger.

Yes you can in principle, I am charging my portable GPS Nuvi with it in my home (reason I bought it). The issue is rather if the car plug of the device works with this adapter. For some reason it does not work for my small car vacuum cleaner car plug although it is supposed to be compatible. So I would ask the seller for specifics and if it does not work be ensured to get refund including shipping back.

I bought this to use with a Koolatron Cooler/Heater. However, if your Coleman says PWR REQUIREMENTS 9.5 TO 14.4 Volts this should work. If your Coleman has a tip on the cord that came with it to plug into your lighter in the car then it is 12 volts which fits in the range (9.5-14.4) listed by Coleman for your cooler. This adapter allows you to plug your 12 volt plug in to it and then converts that to 110 so you can plug the other end of the adapter into a wall plug and charge it that way.

There is a controller in the device that supposedly prevents overcharging. That being the case I would guess that you shouldn't but I would suggest you contact Coleman with the question.

You can recharge it in the vehicle lighter socket or in home with the included AC adapter

I got it to recharge Mega-X Morphibians remote car that uses a a Tenergy 9.6 V 2000mAh battery. I don't know if it will work for you, but the thing to look for is the battery & charger connectors are same type.

Yes you can and it would use it's own internal battery. There is a side plug in as well to charge via outlet or car adapter also so you could do both.

No. However, if your asking this to enable to take the bed camping, you could use a power converter to use your car battery to convert from 12 volt dc to 120 ac. You just plug it into the converter. Very easy to do.

I cannot-but a call to Fantastic Vent Customer Service wil have the answer...It is very low though..I hook mine up to a portable car start battery w/accessory jack, and plug that into a DC jack when driving..I have never had an issue..

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.
