can this be used to charge a jump starter battery with a female cigarette lighter outlet?

Yes: both ends of the cable are male. Alas, however, the cable is only 48" long, and so is useless for most applications outside the passenger area of the car. I still have my cable, but have never been able to use it for anything.

That is the exact purpose of this cord (for charging the "jump-start" batteries in a car). It's not a long cord since it should reach a lighter plug with the battery on the floor or seat of the car (very close). For more info on using it (and some cautions), see my review of this.

Actually, yes, it should work - although it would be much more efficient to use jumper cables directly between the batteries, and you would need another adapter between the female receptacle on the cable and the female receptacle on the vehicle.

No. This is for your home. Or any where that a "cig lighter style outlet" is needed and not present. So lets say u have a car charger for ur cell phone. U could plug the cell charger into this device if it was plugged in say at home in the house.I use it for my portable xm radio that plugs into my boat/ car. Using this I can plug it in at home or anywhere else I travel for parties ect and dont have to find a car outlet.

Doubtful. This cable is only 48" long. I also don't know of many (any?) batteries that have a female socket to accept the other end of this cable. This kind of cable is usually used to power such things as air compressors to inflate tires, etc.

I never tried it that way. I just use it for a trickle charge on my wife's car if we are gone for a while. Sorry

it will but wont last as long, a slow charge is better for that type of battery, I got mine an charged it jumped 1 pickup [completely dead] an 2 cars [lights left on] a month later an still is half charged, I liked new type of battery in this, have gone thru a lot of other jumpers because left on battery I jumped to charge it, good luck, mines working ok. that's why it didn't come with cig plug, just usb plug.

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

This is used to charge a battery pack thru your cigarette lighter.DC to DC charging. Ex.600 amp jump starter pack. To charge that type of pack you need a 12 volt charger

Dan, I purchased this cable to charge my Portable 12V Battery Jumper Cable unit. I have it as a "just in case" but have not actually tried it yet. Looks like it should work though.

The actual question would be to do what ! Do you want to use it as a boost battery using the cigarette lighter existing socket ? " Not an advisable option " wiring in some vehicle are barely good enough to use the lighter much less to try to start it . (2) To use the ligter socket to charge battery ? .. Well not advisable due to high amps may fry the terminals if left for extended period of time on ,,, Plain get a a slow 500-800ma charger or trickle charger maintainer no more than 1amp max...

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.

I would not use more than 1 1//2 or 2 amp charge. Most chargers have a switch for this. Jump starting is probably not a good idea, although I have never done it.

Certainly. I use mine to charge 4, 6-volt golf cart batteries that are run in series.

No, that is a misprint or something of the sort, it is not at all suited to jump start a dead battery. However, if you were to leave it hooked up to a (nearly but not entirely) dead battery for 10 minutes, that would usually be enough to get the car started unless the battery itself is not just drained but also worn out or damaged/defective/etc, or unless it is very cold outside.

this is battery charger for car , not a jump start charger, this require to have access to power outlet.

Yes. I haven't had it very, but I have used it 3 times so far. Jump started my car, charged my other car battery and used it on my lawn mower battery to charge it as well. So far I love it. Very easy to use.

It should be able to jump start any 12-volt vehicle. Make sure to keep it charged when not being used.
