can it charge a car battery?

No. It isn't a charger, it is a jump starter which means that it is just another battery used to temporarily "boost" the battery in the car that is weak. While this jump starter has a built-in charger for it's own battery, it cannot be used to charge your car battery--the selector switch/dial can either be set to "jump" (on) your car battery or "charge" (off) to charge itself, it will not allow the charger to function while the jump battery is connected to your car battery.

It comes with a plug to put into the cigarette lighter outlet to slow charge the battery, but it's really best to use it to jump start a battery when you need it.

It's not meant to be a battery charger. It's for emergency use like jump starting your vehicle. You can use some of the other feature like air compressor for tire if you like. If you are looking for a good car battery charger try the Schumacher SE-82-6 ($24) - just attached cable, plugin the power cord to your AC outlet and wait a few hours for the battery to charge up. BTW, most car batter charger uses your AC outlet to charge the battery. Hope this helps.

No, I don't think so. It is a battery, a substitute when your car battery won't work

Can't be used to recharge a battery but there are plenty of cheap chargers out there. One of the answers said you could using the cigarette lighter plug, this is for recharging the unit not for recharging your car battery. For a reasonable slow battery charger, I recommend the battery tender junior.

No sir, this is not that kind of a power supply. But, you Can buy battery chargers, (a type of power supply), that will start automobiles. Just search for 'Battery Chargers' in Automotive.

i realize i'm answering an old question but if you have a working cigarette lighter in your car, you could get a solar charger that sits on your dash, and plugs into the lighter to charge up the battery. Or it seems you could anyway.

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

It will damn near charge your car battery. it charges best if you have good quality high output cables. but this little charger works fantastic

Possibly. I used a car charger I already had. But if it's a micro USB port then it probably does.

Haven't tried it. The charger is only 1 amp so I doubt it. It does plug into the cars ciG lighter.

I have only used this to run an air-compressor off of a battery charger. I don't know how it would work actually charging a car battery. Theoretically it could work but I don't think the wires are heavy enough. Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.

It is possible, you just need to have the right cable for it. It's not a specific one but you can try the USB cable and a car charger with the USB connection.

If you have a 12volt charger you can charge it in a car.. or you could bring extra batteries with you.

Yes it charge your battery. Would show you a picture but dont know how to show image on here.

yea it can be charged but it will take longer to charge becaus of the low wattage associated with car chargers

Yes, you can charge this from a car. You may need to buy a cable like the Clore Solar ESA1 with male plugs on each end, but a cars 12V power will do the job. They recommend the trickle charging from the house one, but if it's drained and you need it again soon a car will work. Don't forget to have the "light switch" on so the outlet is connected to the battery, otherwise you won't be charging it. You may want to see some of the comments under one of the most popular reviews titled "Got to work...After some trying" since a Clore rep has answered similar questions there.

If I understand your question correctly, no. If your car battery is really old and totally bad and incapable of holding a charge, I don't think this will work. It works great for a still good battery that has run down due to leaving something on

It should work fine to charge the battery. You'll have to use an adapter. Once it's charged it'll go anywhere!

Yes, you can. I used it to recharge to my car battery. It will automatically shutoff when your battery is full, and turn itself back on if the charge in the battery drops.

Wellll, Yes it can, but you don't want to do it.Google and instructables dot com would be your friends here. At a high level the steps are:1. Identify + and - connections on battery.2. Break open battery case (preferably a dead one).3. Remove batteries.4. Add wires to battery contacts.5. Connect wire to a 12 volt DC power supply with 'enough' amps, or to your car battery (better watch that polarity!)But given the fact that a new battery is around 35 bucks - it aint worth doing.
