talksy Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hello, I often charge my iPhone or ipod from the cigar lighter using a cigar to usb plug converter. It works very well, but it has a small light on it which never goes out. The cigar sockets on my Focus 2009 are live even with the ignition off. So I am trying to find an adaptor which does not have a light which will waste my battery power. I know I could take it out every time, but you forget, and also it is tight and hard to pull out. I have seen this, but I am sure this has a light behind that black shiny plastic: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320989899974?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 I was also interested in getting a doubler like this, but again, it seems to have a light: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221023790365?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Can anyone give me suggestions for what they went for?

paddyc1988 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I have the first one, it works well and its small so no complaints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I always remove mine, problem is if you have one of those plugged in and someone spots it, they may just pop the window just in case there's a sat nav or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegtuk Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 the led light will draw so little power, approx 0.025amps you could leave it on for weeks without starting the car and it wouldnt effect the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
