Science Abuse Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I've got a power inverter and a camera to run off it...but no cigarett lighter to plu it into. Its a race car, andI dont smoke. But my Camera battery is shot and I need some power for it. What can I tap into to get the inverter the right juice? Just the battery? The unverter plug: which is power and which is ground, the tip or the sides? Holla! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I've got a cigarette lighter that you could splice a power and ground onto and just mount it somewhere if you want it. Let me know, I can bring it to the thrift store or something, I have no use for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Usually the wire with the white stripe is the positive. Yes you can hook it directly to te battery. Also, wally world and meijer have cig lighters (or at leats used to) and napa/autozone should deff. have them in a nice generic package.

Science Abuse Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Yup, those aren't hard to find. I'm just looking for a current to feed'm. In all reality, if I find my OEM Cig lighter wires in here some where, I can just hard-wire the inverter itself. Ding, perminent A/C outlet in the car.

Bird69 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 if you don't use the oem wires and tap directly off the battery, make sure you in-line fuse it to keep from frying your camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
