Reviews on Newegg aren't too positive but it's only $16 so I can't expect too much.

It seems this can take input from the car lighter outlet, can someone confirm?

Pretty bad reviews imo. I was going to jump on this... until I read the reviews.

The device itself will not be aware if it is directly connected to the battery or connected via a cigarette lighter/aux. |

As mentioned previously, to get even close to the full 400W rated, you need to use the battery clamps. Otherwise in most cases it's likely that your cig lighter fuse is only 10 amps (maybe up to 20 on some SUV/utility trunks that are meant to take on higher power applications), so your max theoretical output will only be 120W... but plan for closer to 100.

The reviews are all over the place on this, but the 2.1A USB alone is worth it to me, so I'm gonna gamble on this and hope I get a working unit.

Watts = Voltage * Amps 400w = 120v * A A=3.3 Max this unit can provide is 3.3 Amps. Factor in for inefficiencies in the device and it probably draws 4-5 amps... This also means that the 2.1A USB port uses 2/3rds of the units capacity (when fully loaded). Many laptop chargers would pass this small 3.3A threshold (and overload the unit). Edit: I think some are confusing the input voltage 12v and using that to determine the units wattage capacity. Last edited by gmanvbva; 11-06-2012 at 11:13 AM.. |
