Is it possible to connect the alligator clips to an adapter for the cigarette lighter? Is there an adapter? Will it blow the cigarette lighter fuse?

This model did not come with an adapter. The alligator clips only work on the car battery. I wouldn't recommend hooking them up to the cigarette lighter fuse. Hope that helps. Good Luck. It's a great little machine and pumps fast even when the car is turned off.

Don't know why you would want to do this and it probably will blow the fuse.

I have 88P. I see other model can be directly plugged into cigarette lighter such as VIAIR 85P and 70P.Obviously, this will be very convenience since there is no need to open the car hood to access the battery.

Amperage draw is 19 amps max, so you could clip the alligator clips to the lead wires on a cigarette lighter adapter as long as your cigarette lighter circuit is rated at 20 amps. I looked at the fuse on my Chevy pickup, and the lighter circuit is only rated for 15 amps.... that could cause a blown fuse if the compressor is working at full load.

The compressor has a 15amp in-line fuse and that tells me it draws a substantial amount of current. Your cigarette lighter cannot possibly provide that load without blowing a fuse.

yes it can blow the fuse in the cig lighter, thats why I went with the clips straight to the battery

the clips should plug straight on to your battery, they are very easy to connect (and the car does not need to be running to turn the compressor on).

The pump comes with an inline 20A fuse, so if your 12V adapter is fused less than that, it will likely blow, especially after it heats up. As for the alligator clips, they are designed to clip to a battery terminal and not necessarily bare wires extending from your power adapter. This pump may not be for you. I do not know if you can find an adapter for clips to 12V adapter. That seems to be an odd thing to do.

It has leads for battery connection. You could easily modify for cigarette adapter. A simple lighter plug blank could be found on amazon.

The alligator clips connect by an allen clip / plug so you can connect another connection that way.

Most car fuses are 20 amp for the ciggarrette lighter.I have not blown any fuses using this compressor.However if you uses a port long enough (15-20 min) it can get really hot and that is what causes the fuse to blow.This unit is not meant to be used commercially etc.

I can't remember if it has an adapter for the cigarette lighter, but my kids use them all the time on trips (I think maybe it does, so they recharge along the way if it's a long trip). We bought 2 for Christmas in 2009 for sons aged 11 & 7, they use them constantly. This summer the younger one, now 11, knocked one off a bed and it jammed the outlet, so we ended up getting him another one. That being said - they hold up very well and are extremely handy-definitely worth the money.

It should hook up right to your cigarette lighter (if your cigarette lighter is fully functioning), no adaptor needed....But I had issues with mine (it broke on first use) and had to return it. If it's not working for your car, I would return it.

The lighter plug has a fuseThe fuse may have blownTry a technical place like radio shack to see if the can test it or get you a USB adapter

No fuse that I saw but check the cigarette lighter end that is where it will be if there is one. Works great..

There is a fuse in the positive side of connection. And a cover for said positive alligator clip for positive terminal. This thing works pretty darn good.

The one we bought for our daughter in Georgia was wired to the car battery. I'm not sure about the cigarette lighter. The heater does not work well for her. It doesn't keep the windows fog free and gives out very little heat.

Yes, it has a cable with alligator clamps to clamp on the battery or a lighter adapter to plug in. Buy it, it works well.

Thank you for contacting us about your battery tender. Unfortunately, the ring terminals will be too small for standard automotive terminals, but you would be able to use the alligator clips that are provided with the charger.

You will need a separate adapter, they come with alligator clips and cigarette lighter plug style
