can you plug it in a 12 volt cigarette lighter outlet
1383277
No, it requires a 5 V power source. You can plug it into a 5 V USB cigarette charger though.

Yes, but of course you need a 12v to 5v convertor - the standard cigarette to USB convertor that you very well may already own for other devices.

The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC. It does not come packaged with a power adapter for direct 12 volt DC hookup, but you could easily make one. The plug would be the same as the one on the transformer output with the other end being a cigarette lighter automobile type connection or whatever other connection to the 12 volt source you would be using. I do not see any reference to a 12 volt connection in the owners manual, but I see no reason why it could not be done. Just be sure you connect it with the correct 12 volt DC polarity. Or do what the other commentor said. Get an inverter.

No, unfortunately, it cannot be plugged in to an outlet. We had to have our electrician wire it for us.

You would have to have an adapter to plug in cigarette lighter but they do make one I understand

No, I do not believe it can be plugged into a cigarette lighter unless if you have the AC adapter/ converter.

NO....you plug it into the wall socket rated at 110 volts or so. Good luck.

Yes. It's a 12v like car cig lighter. I attached it to my Motorcycle battery so I can charge my phone when riding. Like use gps etc. Make sure you add fuse to wiring!

there's no need to power it from a vehicle--it has it's own rechargeable battery pack which can be recharged using the included 120vac adapter. Why would you want to plug it into a cigarette lighter?

It should be able to as long as you have the USB plug/port or the adapter for cigarette lighter outlet.

No, but you can use any cigarette lighter to usb adapter for a power source.

This unit does not come with a 12 volt (cigarette lighter style) plug. It basically has a small set of jumper cables that clamp directly to the battery.

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.

Yes, it needs to be plugged into a 12 volt "cigarette lighter" power outlet to work.
1586421
Yes you can so long as you have a constant 12v source. In other words, wire it straight to battery or 12 constant on the fuse block. Most cigarette lighter plugs go off with the ignition so you need constant.

I just got mine and it comes with a 110 volt plug. Cigarette lighter will not work. That would be 12 volts

Yes, there is an adapter to charge the unit from a 12v supply cigarette lighter.

Yes it plugs into a normal 120-V AC wall outlet and it also comes with a 12V DC adaptor allowing you to plug it into the cigarette lighter in a car.
