can this be re-energized with a car charger?

No, unfortunately you can't do that; I was hoping for the same when I bought it, but I think there are adapters for that. So far I have checked this site of Amazon and I didn't find the right one but I'm sure radioshack and similar stores have it.

No, not that I am aware. As far as I know there is no one piece car charger but the power requirements for this unit are very modest. A small power inverter should be more than adequate to power it from a 12 volt cigarette lighter.

Sorry I really don't know if that would work. However I use a trickle charger for a car battery and use battery to power my trolling motor and the charge last about five hours of continuous use.

Yes! it is excellent for car batteries and will maintain the charge without overcharging. - Len - 661-245-2000 - Racecrafters-USA

No. It cannot. However, u can get car converter and use it in the car. That's what I did during Sandy storm. Hope this helps

You can recharge the Simple Start from your car, as long as the engine is running or the car battery has enough capacity. See page 10 of the manual for full instructions. BTW, the unit must be powered on to take a charge from the AC adapter or the car.

The charger itself does not have that ability (that I know of).The Volt does provide that functionality. I would assume the Leaf or Tesla would have that too.

Yes, you can and actually you have to use electric source at the first time to charge it. And be advised, if you just use solar power, you can jus charge about 75% not anymore, to charge 'till 100% you have to use a elecric source.

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

Of course you can. All that will happen is a red light will be up. The red light means its charging. I do this all the time.

all I'd say is "probably"... the standard chargers that come with the unit are just 12V 5amp, so as long as the car battery can output that current, shouldn't be a problem.. how it may drain the battery is something else, but the power consumption is pretty low (one of the benefits of LEDs), and if the car would be running, not an issue. Hope that helps.

Yes you can, only if your ac adapter is powered by your car battery...Otherwise it"s imposible.

Yes you can, but in the long run it's not good for the battery. It also has the car charger.

Yes, it is rechargeable. Just follow the simple instructions on the Instruction Card included with the storage pouch and charger. Basically, after starting your car, you can keep it plugged into the vehicle's cigarette lighter port, then reverse a switch on the charging cord and keep your car running for about 20-30 minutes.

You can simply connect the charger with the battery still in the car. Simple! Just like any other charger.

Sure. The power input is just a cable with cigarette lighter on the car-supply end, and medium size coaxial DC plug on at the device. You could easily cut or remove the cigarette plug and wire to a fused *12 Volt DC * power source in the vehicle

Probably not. It is right on the edge of having enough power. It might with fresh charge and a small car lug nut
