Cigarette Lighter Power Adapters

With cigarette lighter power adapters, you can power and charge almost any mobile device in your car as easily as you can in your home. If you already have a GPS unit hogging the cigarette lighter, look for a multi-port power converter that combines standard electronic ports, such as USB, with a standard cigarette lighter outlet. The standard ports allow you to leave your iPad power converters and other power adapters at home. Some car designs feature the cigarette lighter in an inconvenient location. Overcome that problem with a power adapter that has a power cord between the 12-volt plug and the converter. A final tip is to look for power adapters with a high USB power rating if you intend to use or charge laptops, iPads or similar devices.
