Can I charge my battery in a car?

This charger needs to plug into an outlet so if you don't have that available in your car, then it won't work. Your camera may sell a car charger, but you'll have to do a search online for it.

A 12V battery can be charged from any 12V source including the AC charger, a car or even solar panels intended for such. Some OEMs market a cord for connecting battery packs like this to the car via the lighter outlets so they charge as you drive (the Clore ESA1 and Schumacher SAC-109 are examples). Just be sure that the lighter outlet is turned "on" while doing that so the power gets thru to the battery. Also the cars power may instantly make this battery show "full" when hooked up, but it does take time for the battery to absorb the power, so that's why they recommend charging over a long time with the AC trickle charger (or while in the car you need to leave it for 1/2 hour, yet it's still a guess as to whether or not the battery has absorbed all it can or not).

Yes you can. You need a USB to Micro USB cable. If you plug it into the #1 port it will also charge the battery.

my electrician says that you can. I didn't though because it only takes an hour and a half to charge my prius plug in.

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.

No. You just plug it in the wall to charge it for at least 36 hrs when you first receive it. when charging your car battery with this, just connect the clamps to the right polarities of your vehicle battery (black to black first, then red to red), then start the ignition of your car. I just used it last week, worked like a charm!

Yes, if you have a standard car 12v cigarrette -> 5v usb adapter & the included usb cable it will charge the battery just like a wall adapter would

i realize i'm answering an old question but if you have a working cigarette lighter in your car, you could get a solar charger that sits on your dash, and plugs into the lighter to charge up the battery. Or it seems you could anyway.

Yes, you can charge these by using a USB/cigarette lighter socket instead of the standard 110 volt charger, or if you have one of the newer SUV's there is most likely a 110 Volt inverter plug in the car which will allow you to connect the dual-lead charger that comes with the radios, either of which can power and charge the radio(s) while you drive. There is a waterproof rubber plug on the body of the radio which is where the charger plugs in so you can charge it from any solar recharger, backup power supply or any laptop USB type connector. Mine came with the 110 volt wall charger and a headset for each of the two radios but I had a stack of USB to mini-USB connector cables from previous electronics that worked quite well to recharge from USB ports. There is also a quick charge stand available you just slide the radios down into like a telephone handset charger/cradle as well, but it's an option/accessory. Hope this helps, I intend to buy two more myself.

The battery can be charged in an automobile by using an Auto Charge DC Cable which is available for $25.00 from us.

Yes. You can use it and charge it at the same time. I leave mine on charge in my auto continuously while I am driving. Works well that way. I never have to touch it.

Yes, the device can be charged in your automobile. Purchase the bean bag style mount, it comes with a suction type mount. Connect to your computer and customize it then you're ready to go. Oh yes, don't forget to register it.

You have to ensure the internal battery is charged or ensure that you have a good connection to the vehicle power source. If you have the USB connector you can charge it that way, although I never have been able to operate solely on the battery for any length of time.

Yes, but because of the voltage requirements make sure you use the device while the vehicle is running or you risk quickly depleting the car's battery.

You can also charge the battery in this case with the car charger in your car since it has a micro usb connection and so does the car charger

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

It can be charged with the same 12 volt charger as a car battery. Best on trickle charge or low setting charge.
