Guest andythomas1 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hi all my car has a 12 socket in the middle of the dash. you have to open the ashtray to access it (which annoys me at night) so i was wondering if I can hard wire a charger cable ( I was going to use the cable from a mains charger) to a switched live in the car. is this viable? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 STOP! Hopefully not too late in replying. You need to get a proper car charger, just using the cable without any voltage control will probably kill your device and could seriously damage the battery. The charger needs to be at 5v not 12v.
