Re: no cigarette lighter to charge things up with??

Be carefull buying these multi banks, Alot of them only run a total of about 4 amps and the plug will melt(ive got a collection)Tescos do a good one for 10 quid that locks into the plug socket and gives battery condition. Your better off wiring any inverter direct to the battery.
