If I do not want to use the cigarette lighter as a power source, what wires should I use to splice into the car's power?

I'm not exactly a car guy, but I like doing some things myself, so I just took my car to a shop and asked if they could drop a auxiliary wire for me. They rigged to up out of the fuse box near the drivers feet. Probably attached it to the fuse panel because you want it to turn off and on with the car. If you attach it directly to the battery, it will constantly be powered on and will drain the battery.

If you don't know anything about electronics, maybe this isn't for you. You can cause problems for your car if you do it wrong. What I did was to find the wires to the cigarette lighter and connected the red wire to it and ground the black wire.

This particular model has alligator clamps that attach to car battery terminals. As far as I know, that's the only way you can use it. However, there is/are at least one other model that can be plugged into a regular electrical receptacle. I don't think you can get one that does both. But I bought this one because it puts out more pressure coming from the battery. And will always have power if you need it when with the car. Somewhere else, you might not have electrical access.

You could run it like "Gravy" suggests: car battery >> cigarette lighter >> power inverter (ie AC out) >> adapter that comes with LP-2020A+ >> LP-2020A+ power input.An easier way might be: car battery >> (some sort of capacitor / circuit protection) >> LP-2020A+ power input. You'd probably need to know more about car electronics to go with the latter, though.

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

ALMOST all cig. liter/power outlets are wired direct to 12v source bypassing the ignition switch

I am not sure exactly how this unit works, but if you are referring to enough power I would say yes. If you can get lighter to pull out or can access the wires behind it you can use a splice in connector.

Dear DrCosmo Thank you for your inquiry. If you have used your lighter, then just cut the wires and then connect them to your car's Plus-n-Minus. Sincerely yours, Astra Depot

these are your best bet because you can use a lower (heavier duty) "awg or gage" wire dirrectly to the connection/metal of the connector- deffinitely a plus for ease and efficiency of use and installation, most importantly you dont have to worry about splicing in to the flimsy thin wire on all the others available. solderless connectors like these are fullproof while other "style" connectors can be shady sometimes. ive used these 110 and dc and in a car using the battery directly

There is a USB converter. It goes into car lighter, and has USB connections other end. Usually pretty cheap, can even find at local dollar stores.

Cigarette lighter or you can hook directly to your battery. I have a cigarette lighter in my center console so I ran the power under the seats into center console to plug them in

I use a 100 watt power inverter for the cigarette lighter in a car.. $20 is cheap..

If there is no circuit between the battery and the cigarette lighter you would have to use the battery clips.....

You have many choices. The one that goes to the cigarette lighter uses a usb / ipod cable. Aditional to that, you hace the direct aux cable and a usb cable, in case your car has an ipod reading system, you should connect both of them.

Almost anything can be wired into a car. This is a home unit design. the power source is 110Volt standard to 9volt 750ma output.I'd look for a car 12volt unit designed for a car

Like you would your cell phone. The wire used is USB/miniUsb You may need to supply it yourself. Plug it into your computer, your car (cigarette lighter hole), or into a regular wall plug with a USB port.

Hi, depend on the amps the pellet stove fan recuier, you might need to connect the inventor directly to the car battery as you won't use the maximum amper when connected to cigarette outlet. Do not use thin wires if you do so as they might get hot and pasible start fire. I think that 4-6 gawg wires with an apropieat fuse will do the job
