Charge the pack FROM the car? Does anyone know if any of the PACKS can be charged inside a car from the cig lighter?

Well your post is old, but I figure I would still post a response. The Booster Pac does charge from the DC (Cig lighter) but you have to monitor it because you can overcharge. They recommend an AC charge though. You can read the manuals and see more details on the company's website. http://www.cloreautomotive.com/

Your car has to be able to charge the battery that way so i'd check your owners manual just to be safe if you havent already. but we had a Toyota Prius and the ignition battery died so bought this and a quick jump kit. we jumped it from the cig lighter anytime the car wouldn't start. we never left it plugged in longer than to start the car. hope this helps!

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.

Hello Li, There is no battery to charge in the display module. If you are referring to the cig lighter 12v plug, it is available in any car accessories shops.

This is like an oven, you need car's electricity to use. Just plug in your car's cigarette plug and it does all the work for you. You should have one if you spend alot of time on the road.

It depends how your car is grounded. For me there is a bad ground loop that makes noise while charging from the cigarette outlet.

Yes, it comes with a car charger for cig lighter and a USB cable for computer connection.

Tablet will charge from USB port. I plug an inverter into "cigerette" port and plug my laptop charger into inverter when my laptop battery is low. I have never tried to fully charge my laptop with it. If I wanted to do that I probably would not use the Bestek but use the car "cigerette" port directly.

There is a cord that that connects the unit to the cigarette lighter in your car. There is a built in battery which is charged thru that cord. no need for a separate charger.

That's a great idea but ... sorry, no cig lighter adaptor. Mine runs on batteries and a plug in for electricity.

I did not keep this unit but returned it. I do not think it a good idea to charge it using a cigarette lighter. It might be very dangerous. Check with professionals in this matter.

Can I use the car cigar lighter outlet to charge this? I have to purchase a "cigar to cigar" cable I suppose?

Yes, this inverter was made for laptops & smart phones. Use the USB ports & you don't even have to turn the power on on the inverter. Yes, it has to be plug into a cig lighter at all time.

Cig lighter, yes- don't know about battery connection charge though; check web offers before you buy it. I have charges for cig lighter & household electric. But why would you want a battery connection too, since one charge will last a long time, depending on usage of course.
