Absolutely! I rented a car for a week and kept the Garmin charged via the cigarette lighter.

Yes. You can. I used it last October in a Ford Fiesta Van while travelling through Italy.

Yes, it charges from your cars cigarette lighter port... I used aligator clips to charge from another 12 volt source... if you do try that make sure you dont hook it up wackwards (like I did)...luckily I only blew the fuse in the charger.

It can only be charged with usb cable from your car or pc. You can buy 220 volt adapter with usb port to charge this or from your pc with the provided usb cable. Hope this helps.

Yes. It can be charged by a DC source in your car or by the AC adapter provided with the device.

Yes, this product can be used in Europe. You will need an international outlet converter to charge it, however.Thanks a lot,The Big Greenie Team

I can't definitely answer about Europe, but this power strip has worked just fine to charge my Kindle and Ipad in Central America, and in Hong Kong. A colleague of mine has used the same power strip in Canada, Iceland, and Australia, with no problems. With 3 outlets and a USB port, I use this to power a laptop, and keep my iphone, ipad, and kindle charged, whenever I travel.

Yes, with the caveat that if you're in the states, it comes with a EUROPEAN-style charger which does NOT work on american outlets unless you go out and buy a different charger or adapter.

If you want to use it in Europe and Asia you will need to buy the adapter. I am American and have traveled to Europe recently. It charges with no problem using the adapter.

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

The only connection is a traditional 2 prong plug. An adapter can be connected for a European type receptacle. I don't know whether an adapter and inverter exists for a cigarette lighter source.

Since the instructions assume one charges via the lighter in the automobile, or the USB cable on the PC, it does not explicitly state that an automobile supplied USB cable will work. But, as a retired high tech engineer, I would guess that it would work.

Yes, a car can charge these and some cables like the Clore ESA1 or Schumacher SAC-109 are available just for that purpose. See my reviews of them for some info on using them including if this has a switch to turn off the lighter outlet, remember to turn it "on" so the cars power connects to it's battery.

The charger that comes with it says that its suitable for European voltage. You might want to need a simple fit to size socket adapter depending on the country. Actually the out connection is the standard 5 volt USB which means it can be charged off of a USB socket.

No. Based on what your saying, with key off cigarette lighter is disconnected from the battery, it must connected to the battery to charge it.

I did not keep this unit but returned it. I do not think it a good idea to charge it using a cigarette lighter. It might be very dangerous. Check with professionals in this matter.

There is no cigarette lighter charger included. Only AC charger and USB cable included. It can charge from either and function simultaneously. You would have to obtain a cigarette lighter USB charger. The ZOMM safe driving kit includes a cigarette lighter USB charger, but most any should work OK. The speaker is small, and does not function well in HI noise environments. Once charged, the charge is only good for 1 day at best, so daily charging is a must. Continuous charging via a USB charger would be beneficial. Once paired by Bluetooth, it will sound off when separated from your cell phone, as long as the charge holds that is.
