I'm a bit ignorant on these things. Will this unit work in a power outlet or does it have to be pluged into a cigarette lighter?

It will work in a 12 volt power outlet. The 12 volt power outlet in your car is the same as a cigarette lighter jack.

The power outlet is fine for the MP3 player. Never put cigarette lighter into a power outlet other than the one intended for it, they are not made to resist the heat. Likely, they purposely designed the contacts a little differently to prevent the lighter from heating in the other power outlet(s).

You can buy such a thing. Any piece of equipment that has the option of using a 12V Cigarette Lighter socket will naturally work. Other than that, you would need to use a 6V power regulator (which is very simple/cheap to make). I am assuming that you need something more than USB power, which already exists on the unit via USB Charge Ports. Here at Amazon, you want something like this, which is pretty easy to implement: http://www.amazon.com/Converter-Module-12v-20v-Supply-Adapter/dp/B00OTQWK9U/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1428944314&sr=8-8&keywords=12v+to+6v+power+regulator I think I will go buy one of these for myself today, thanks for bringing this up! I am sure that I can get this to fit inside and install a jack.

As far as I know this unit should be wired to a 12 volt battery source on your vehicle with the appropriate gauge wire in relation to the distance from the battery to the inverter. It says in the manual the size you will need. It should not be plugged into the cigarette lighter. In fact you will have to buy a wiring kit for this inverter as one is not supplied with it. The vehicle does not have to be running for this inverter to work but will have to be run intermittent to keep the battery charged.

You would have to wire this into your outlet. There are no plugs as part of this unit.

The unit comes with a power cord that you plug in to the cigarette lighter plug. I purchased a separate hard wiring kit to wire it in to my fuse box.Hope this helps.

You can leave it plugged in, I however hardwired mine to my battery and fused it with an inline fuse. Works great and the one thing on the far right socket just an FYI it is designed for a cigarette lighter and the other ports work great for accessory chargers and more.

It has a 12 volt cigarette lighter adaptor so, to plug in wall, you would have to buy an AC to DC converter with 12v car socket.

You will probably have to purchase an Inverter that changes DC to AC. It plugs in to the power port or cigarette lighter in your car and gives you a regular outlet. Very handy

Hi. You need 12V power outlet . Plug item in the cigaret power outlet (12V) of the car. Then item work. Thank you

This is a plug in unit (not battery operated.) So you actually HAVE to plug it in for it to work. It has a standard, American, 2 prong plug. Hope this info helps you!

I am not sure how to answer your question. You sound just like my wife-LOL. If you mean electricity like in your house, 110 volts, yes, it works without that kind of electricity. The 12 volt outlet in your car, the cigarette lighter, 12 volt power point, etc, is also electricity, just a different voltage. So, this is the object of this unit, it will work when you are away from your house "electricity", but it works on your car's 12 volt "electricity". Great for a car trip, camping, etc. Hope this helped you!

You can get of one of the following and make it working with AC outlet:http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001TY3Z3A/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition;=newGeneric B001TXWNLQ Universal AC to DC Car Cigarette Lighter Adapter

It requires the AC power supply. I suppose you could plug it into an AC/DC converter and plug that into your cigarette lighter, but at that point I think you are getting more complicated than it's worth.

It has to be plugged into the lighter outlet or the 12 volt power supply outlet to work..

Hi Cinthya, this device is a power converter 110Volts AC to 12Volts DC. To use this it must be plugged into a household style outlet then you may plug a small item into the 12Volt cigarette lighter style receptacle. Just remember there is no power without it being plugged in. The reason I bought it is I own a small refrig cooler that plugs into car lighter. This device allows me to take the cooler into motel room at night and keep the cooler running. Hope this information helps you! Gene

It should in your cigarette lighter, if you have one. FYI, I bought this and it didn't hold up very well, broke in less than 4 months. I've bought other cheapie ones like this one on Amazon and they don't last long. I recommend you check out Radio Shack, you can buy 2 and 3 port amps, I bought the 3 port one and it's held up very well, have had it for almost 2 years and no problem. You'll pay more (mine cost c. $20) but it's worth it. No more aggravations.
