Review on 12V Car Cigarette Lighter Male Plug Replacement (Female Socket Cable-2P) by Mark Fleming

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Emergency cell phone charger.

I use these cigarette lighter connectors with 2 six volt battery packs connected in series to produce 12 volts. I plug a 12 volt to usb power adapter into the connector and get an emergency cell phone charger. I've built 2 such rigs and they both work fine. Each battery pack holds 4 AA alkaline batteries - which are cheap and readily available.

Pros
  • The hot button should be better
Cons
  • This replacement plug may not work with all types of car cigarette lighter sockets, making it difficult for customers to find a perfect match for their vehicle
