(as a charger) - I have an old car that I love (and it is paid for). I really should fix the cigarette lighter, but meh. Too expensive, and I have a portable battery bank, like most people in the 21st century. Pop this into your "power bank"/"external battery" (ir whatever you want to call it), and now you can use any corded item that needs a cigarette lighter plug. In my case it was my Escort Radar Detector (new toy—love love love it!). But the thing came with a cigarette plug. WTF was I supposed to do with that? Fortunately I found this, and now everything works just fine. This is an unusual item that most people will never need, or think of, but it is good to have. If you need one, I can tell you that this thing works, it is reliable, and well-made. And I didn't get paid to say this, I didn't get anything free. And I didn't get any perks for admitting that I use a radar detector ("kids: stay in school , don't do drugs, obey the speed limit"). Review: Item works fine, turns out my cars usb ports were under-powered - Got a new car with only usb ports near the windshield, thought I'd give this product a try. First one never worked, notified seller, they sent a 2nd free of charge. It worked initially and now only works about 1/3 of the time. I'm outside of the return window so I guess I'm just stuck with a bad product. I'll try another vendor. UPDATE: Contacted the dealer and it turns out the front usb ports on a 2018 Maxima are under-powered. So it wasn't a defective devise, it was an assuming owner. Running power from center console usb converter and it works just as expected. ## Features - Length: 30cm, Output:12V 0.8A Max, depends on the power from your USB port(Please check the rate power of the device you are going to use with this cable!). - USB Port Power Converter, convert power from USB port to 12V car cigarette lighter socket. - Easy to power on your car electronic equipments by extra power(such like a power banker). - Easy to enable Parking Monitoring feature of your Car Dash Cam, don't worry to run out the battery of your car any more. - Just Feel Free To Click the "Add to Cart" Button Order ARECORD USB Plug Converter RIGHT NOW! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01J67JIOQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,075,103 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,934 in Automotive Replacement Cigarette Lighters & Parts | | Brand | ARECORD | | Color | Black | | Current Rating | 0.8 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,201 Reviews | | Input Voltage | 12 volts | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1.76 ounces | | Manufacturer | ARECORD | | Mfr Part Number | AR-UTC-03T12 | | Model Number | 4332951761 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | UPC | 701599832064 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ARECORD - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Vehicle - **Power Source:** Solar and Battery Powered - **Wattage:** 10 watts - **Model Name:** 4332951761 ## Images ![ARECORD USB to 12V DC Adapter - USB A Male to Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Female Power Converter (Max Output 12V 0.8A) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xccWibexL.jpg) ![ARECORD USB to 12V DC Adapter - USB A Male to Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Female Power Converter (Max Output 12V 0.8A) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZvNlwWE9L.jpg) ![ARECORD USB to 12V DC Adapter - USB A Male to Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Female Power Converter (Max Output 12V 0.8A) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CqJcCuRBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I noticed the limitation is 0.8amps, Do you have a similar device that will power a camera that need 2amps,?** A: Sorry, we don't have 2A version now, but 0.8 can work with almost all car dash cam. **Q: Will this work for a Nitecore D4 battery charger that has a 12v cigarette lighter male plug?** A: it should **Q: Will this work to power tire inflator from power bank?** A: Depends on out put from the USB port and what is needed to power the inflation kit **Q: Can this be used to plug the usb side to a power bank and plug the lighter to my car charger for a ham radio?** A: no.. it doesnt magically create more power output than a usb port. all this does is convert a usb into a 12v adapter plug so you can plug things like a gps in cars that dont actually have a 12v plug. usb ports can only hold 5v, not a full 12 like a typical 12v socket so you can only use low power drawing items with this.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When your cigarette lighter in your car doesn't work . . .

Nope. Just a buffet of USB-A and USB-C ports like it’s a tech conference, but zero place to plug in anything with a round plug and purpose. I needed to run a plug-in amber safety light for snow removal (because nothing says “winter prep” like glow sticks for your roof), and a dash cam, which, shocker, doesn’t run on raw optimism or Bluetooth alone. So this adapter saved the day. Twice. But let’s be real: not every USB-A port is going to give you enough juice. Some of them are basically just there to look helpful, like the coworker who offers to “circle back” but never does. So, if it doesn’t work through USB-A, try USB-C instead — that’s where the real power lives. USB-C is like the responsible sibling who actually graduated and has a job. Do I know why car manufacturers decided to ditch the classic 12V port? No. Probably the same reason they move the cup holder just slightly out of reach. But at least this adapter lets you pretend your car still has that one useful thing it forgot to include. Bottom line: it works. It’s cheap. It doesn’t judge your weird electrical needs. Just don’t expect it to perform miracles through USB-A if your port is lazy. ## Frequently Bought Together - ARECORD USB to 12V DC Adapter - USB A Male to 12V Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Female Power Converter (Max Output 12V 0.8A) - Jsvecip Radar Detector Cable, USB to RJ11 Plug Cable,for Escort Radenso XP Uniden Beltronics Cobra Whistler Radar Detector,Replacement Power Cable for Radar Detectors.(RJ11-6.56ft) - Uniden R7 EXTREME LONG RANGE Laser/Radar Detector, Built-in GPS, Real-Time Alerts, Dual-Antennas Front & Rear w/Directional Arrows, Voice Alerts, Red Light and Speed Camera Alerts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/32471374-arecord-usb-to-12v-dc-adapter-usb-a-male-to](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/32471374-arecord-usb-to-12v-dc-adapter-usb-a-male-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
