I need a self-contained car battery jumper. One which has the charge and plugs in a cigarette lighter.

This is not the item you want. This item is used to go from 120 volts AC to 12 volts DC. It is not to charge up battery, Hope this helps

12v cigarette lighter, although im sure if youre savvy with hardwireing you could wire it in directly by taking apart the wire

It comes with a cigarette lighter plug so you can run it off an external battery. The included charger charges 2 batteries at once. Love it

Sometimes the battery can be so dead that a jumpstarter does not have enough juice to turn it over. What you can do is just leave it connected for about 15-30 minutes and it will act as a recharger. This will then charge the battery enough to start the car. (Leave it connected as you start the car)

Please forgive my ignorance Arthur. I purchased this to trickle charge my Optima Batteries. I am not sure if you can jump start, but you would need to have it plugged in. There is no battery in the unit. Very light.

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.

yes!,suggest you disconnect negative battery terminal during storage to preserve life of the car battery. charge jumper pack to 100% and connect cables. charge battery pack every other month to keep it ready to go

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

You will need cable to attach the charge controller to your batteries. The shorter the better. I used an inexpensive set of jumper cables with 8 gauge wire and I had to reduce it at the controller with a cable end that is a post, generally found at a car audio parts store. The battery end uses a standard ring connector that will fit your battery post.I kept that distance less than 10 feet.

If it was a factory packaged product it should come with a cigarette lighter (car) attachment that coverts to a USB for power and charging. The USB cable also comes with the unit.

Yes, and only one battary, recommend you also order the optional extra battery and charger set, that will also let you charge in a vehicle cigarette lighter.

You don't want to plug it into the cigarette outlet, it draws too much power for that and you'll blow fuses or fry the wiring. You'll want to hook it up directly to the battery.

Hi M. Crnkovich; Try and find a battery charger that you can plug into your car's cigarette lighter socket. I found one for my Olympus C8080 at "that big online auction site" if you know what I mean. I think it's a good idea to get 3 extra batteries and maybe a 2 gigabyte XD card if you can afford it. Here's a tip concerning the batteries: Store them close to your body to keep them warm. A warm battery will put out more juice and will last longer than a cold battery. I even keep my camera close to my side to keep it and the battery inside warm. That's if it's 30 degrees F or colder. These lithium ion batteries have what's called "rebound." After it's been drained, some of the charge comes back in a day or two, but not much. It's usually enough to take a quick shot before it totally dies, and then it will rebound again for one shot. Have fun in Alaska :) kkrome25

I am not an expert on this matter, but I think you can use a DC to AC converter (ie Cobra CPI 480) which can be used with either the cigarette lighter or direct to car battery cable attachments.

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.

This plugs into the cigarette lighter; it is not direct wired to the battery
