Can this battery be charged directly (i.e. without 12V-&gt;120V-&gt;12V adaptors) from a car cigar lighter output (12V)?

Nope. Not made for that. Needs an AC wall plug. There ARE chargers that run off car lighter output, but not for this battery. As the other guy said, you need a converter....

Physically connect yes. Logically no. Concern would be the fuse amperage overload (in series) and if your ciggy lighter is always closed so your battery receives a charge when ignition is turned off. It looks good physically but logics meant it likely won't work out a DA boxette.

Yes, if you have a standard car 12v cigarrette -&gt; 5v usb adapter & the included usb cable it will charge the battery just like a wall adapter would

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 can also charge from a 12volt or less source only. I have used mine in the the car

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!

Correct! you can hook up directly to a 12volt battery. It also(mine did)comes with a lighter plug as an extra option but i never use that...I just run it off of marine type batteries which i recharge when needed.

It certainly recharges with 120v- in fact I keep mine plugged in all the time, it has protective circuits so you do not overcharge- has a nice guage. I believe that you can also recharge from your car- it comes with a cigarette plug adaptor.

Yes, it charges from your cars cigarette lighter port... I used aligator clips to charge from another 12 volt source... if you do try that make sure you dont hook it up wackwards (like I did)...luckily I only blew the fuse in the charger.

Yes you can so long as you have a constant 12v source. In other words, wire it straight to battery or 12 constant on the fuse block. Most cigarette lighter plugs go off with the ignition so you need constant.

Hi Bryan,So your car does not have a cigarette lighter socket? Whoops! Unfortunately I am not familiar with what new cars have and have not with regards to a 12V DC output. The item that you have bought requires either a USB or a cigarette lighter type connector. I guess that I would ask your car guy if you have such an output connector in the car or can one be installed. I have not heard of this before. Good luck.r

You need to connected to a 12 volt battery and is very important to use at least no. 4 cable to be sure the stuffs you connect runs well. Is too big for a car lighter but work.

Sure ...just hook it up to the battery to monitor your voltage...you can also hook it to cigar lighter...that should direct connect to the battery when car is on

Seems to me you can charge it in your car using a voltage inverter plugged into your lighter.

It is rechargeable, works directly on 12v car cigarette lighter. It's very light, I recommend it.

it's always a good idea to use 8 gauge wire directly from the battery,fused with atleast a 20 amp fuse,otherwise a cigerett lighter hookup will work. r.cox
