## Description

Battery charger 8A TÜV/GS

Review: Very handy (with some modification) for hardwiring dashcam - Solidly made item - although I've not exactly used it for its intended purpose. I've used this to hardwire my AUTO-VOX B40 A118C Stealth HD 1080P 1.5" Black Box Car Dvr Camera Recorder Dash cam- 170° Super Wide Angle 6G Lens G-Sensor Night Vision Motion Detection into my 2006 Ford Focus. I cut the red clamp off and wired the red wire into an Add-A-Circuit Mini Blade Fuse Holder 20amp Red that I plugged into the circuit for the rear windscreen wiper - this circuit only comes on with the ignition so the dashcam comes on automatically when you start the car. The remaining black clamp is then perfect for earthing to the chassis. Then you can just plug your dashcam's standard cable into the socket on the end of the clamps and you're done. Works well.
Review: Secure fitment - Bit flimsy the clamps but will do job

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I connect this straight to a car battery and then plug a in car phone charger directly in to it to charge my phone while camping?**
A: Yes, I think that is exactly what it is for as long as you have a "male" socket on your iPhone that fits a standard car socket. That is what I did in my caravand

**Q: I would like to use to connect a cigarette lighter end cable that is plugged into a fridge/freezer that has an amperage of 7.5amps to a 12v battery?**
A: Apologies but I do not fully understand the question. I am unsure of what the maximum ampage can flow through this 12 v connector  anyway.

**Q: Will this setup be ok to boil a 90W travel kettle from a leisure battery in my micro camper.**
A: Yes it will be ok to use with a kettle,it’s just how you would use a cigarette lighter in the car

**Q: Does it have an In line fuse holder?**
A: This does NOT come with a in-line fuse holder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Affordable and Flexible Adaptor.
*by X***Z on 9 September 2019*

I have bought three of these over time. I use one directly across my leisure battery in my tent to connect to my CPAP power supply. I have another one permanently clipped on under the bonnet across my car battery to hook up lights and power the 12v airbed pump when camping - bypasses the ignition and much simpler than fiddling around under the noise insulation to find the negative terminal (just don't forget to disconnect before driving off). Regular size and compatible with all my 12v cigarette socket plugs - reasonably tight fit - the plug and springs is more important in making a snug fit. Never noticed any undue heating etc. Useful to have to hand.
