Can this be powered from a 12V automobile battery or a cigarette lighter socket if I had the had the right cable? Making a cable is no problem for me.

Yes you can. Just don't get the polarity wrong or you could damage the unit.

This compressor clips directly to the car battery. It draws 30A and has it's own fuse. That's what makes this such a powerful 12V compressor. The one that plug into the cigarette lighter outlet typically draw <15A, which means that they have 1/2 as much power and will take twice as long to do the same job. It's sorta like the difference of filling up a swimming pool with a 1/2" hose or a 1" hose...... take the 1" hose....trust me..... :-)

No device works that way to my knowledge. The cigarette lighter/auxillary plug in your vehicle isn't wired in such a way that the battery can draw power from it.

It will most likely will run through a "blower" switch on the console, but yes you could just hook it right up to a 12V battery if you are using it for another purpose.

these cables and extension cords usually come with a rating that matches most devices which use a cigarette lighter plug. Devices with higher amp consumption which come equipped with a cigarette lighter plug would still find this cable sufficient for the job; otherwise I don't have a suggestion for a different 12V extension cable of a higher amperage. Good Luck.

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!

I have mine directly wired to a heavy-gauge 12V cigarette lighter without a problem. To best protect your existing car wiring, though, I'd wire in a relay. It's not that much extra work and it keeps the load off the factory wiring..

I used my car charger with a 12-volt battery with a power socket attached to it to power the charger, and it worked just fine.

Yes. Just rotate the 2 metal blades in the back of the device, and plug it into a wall socket. The cigarette lighter plug is for use in the car, an you plug the wire into the top of the battery holder

Great Question! So sorry though, it doesn't run on batteries. If you are going to use it in a car you need to get a converter that uses the cigarette lighter and provides a plug in. That is what I do when I'm on the road. I use a 110v. They are not expensive to pick up.

It should not. Verify that the cigarette lighter socket is clean and clear of any debris and because of the how this unit works the car's engine should be running when this device is in use. The unit really needs 13.5 to 14.5 volts dc to be happy. The car's alternator can deliver that, the battery only delivers 11.5 to 12.0 volts dc max.

Yes, a 12 volt power source will work. Also they supply a power cord to plug in a car lighter and you can install 8 D batteries. This is a fantastic BBQ. J-Guy from Qc

Go to a Video service shop and they will run the cable for you. As for USB goes, you cannot.The video shop run my camera cable straight to the accessories fuse box, this way I don't need to use my 12V outlet.Also great camera.

needs a 12v power source via vehicle battery or get a 12v adapter for the 12v source in you console to plug into.

Yes, if your car's cigarette outlet stays powered on when the car is powered off. The camera goes into a sleep mode where it only turns on when it detects motion to try and not drain your car battery. You can change the sensitivity of this feature. If your 12V outlet turns off with when your car turns off, then you will need to rewire the outlet a little or just wire the camera directly into the car's battery/fuse box. Another thing to note, my battery was getting old and alternator was apparently failing.... so leaving this plugged in without turning the car on for an entire weekend drained my battery to the point were the car would not start Monday morning. My boss was not pleased when I was late to work, trying to get a jump from my kind neighbor. Replacing the battery and alternator, I have not had this issue again. Just a warning, it does drain some power.

Yes or you could use other 12v socket in the car, it's actually better than hooking up to power directly ..when you turn of the car it turns of the monitor.

I just looked at my charger, its 12VDC / 2 amp, same output as a car cigarette lighter. It is a Positive TIP (center) and Negative Outside jack. As long as you get an adaptor to fit unit and ensure Positive TIP, it will work. As far Amps, a car battery has as much as 500 amps, but don't worry, your box will only draw the 2 or less amps, only what it needs of the available 500 amps.
