The cigarette lighter plug is a 12V connection and is actually built into every car. In the past, this electric point was used to light the cigarettes. Today, the lighter plug is mainly used to provide electricity for charging, for example, the telephone or navigation.
The cigarette lighter can be used as desired. The 12V power supply is supplied by the car battery and is very suitable for charging smartphones, tablets, navigation systems and other small devices. This way you are always easily accessible on the road! Do you want to charge the phone via the cigarette lighter? Then you will need a car charger adapter for this.
Which lighter plug do I need
There are several options for the cigarette lighter. For example, you can replace a defective lighter plug with a new variant, but you can also choose to plug in an adapter with a USB connection. So you can easily charge all devices when you are on the go. These adapters are also available with the charging cord already included. Make sure you choose the adapter with the correct cord for your device.
In addition to these options, you can choose to purchase a socket. This plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and then increases the number of lighter plugs in the vehicle. The car is then equipped with even more electricity points.
Are you looking for an adapter for a truck or 24V connection? Make sure that you do not plug in a 12V adapter in this case. A 12V cigarette lighter plug can overheat in a 24V socket and cause damage to the equipment.
Connect cigarette lighter plug
In most cases, the cigarette lighter plug is easy to connect by clicking it into the cigarette lighter. Do you want to replace the cigarette lighter? This must be connected to the battery.
