Want to charge iphone from 12v car battery?
I have 12v lights, and radio in caravan. Want to install Accessory Charger Socket (cigarette lighter) to charge iphone. Battery is car battery not leisure, charged by Solar Panel. Have tried wiring socket, but it just blows the charger. Any thoughts? Anyone help?
Id either get a power inverter and plug mains wall charger into inverter and other end to battery also other choice is run earth and live off battery to cigarette socket then plug in cigarette charger in
You don't say what charger you are using. Wire up a cig lighter socket to battery, use i phone car charger. Get pos and neg the right way round. The solar charger might give a few too many volts so disconnect when charging phone or do at night.
So why have you not bought an apple car charger for your phone as they do make one.simple answer.
The most likely problem is that you are wiring the lighter socket the wrong way round, the centre connection should be positive. Make sure you are feeding it from a fuse, and not direct from the battery. If it was wired right you must have had a faulty charger.
There's no reason why you shouldn't use a 12V phone charger as you propose.
