Wiring 9W Device into Car Power
Hi All,

Wondering if anyone knows how to power a 9W device off of the car's battery. It came with a standard wall outlet charging chord and I was hoping to have it constantly plugged in inside the car. (Sorry if this is a simple question, I'm new here).

this will probably not be worth your time. this is an ac220v. you would need a 220 ac to 12v dc converter. a bunch of extra crap.

What device is it? It's almost certainly converting 220 AC to some DC voltage, and a DC-DC converter is going to be more efficient.
