What is the voltage of car power supply?
2 Answers
Car power supply is 12 volts, which is a convenient power converter that can convert 12V DC power to 220V AC power for general electrical appliances. Precautions for using car power supply are: 1. Do not exceed the rated power value of the car power supply with the electrical appliances; 2. Maintain good connections between the car power supply, battery, and electrical appliances; 3. Do not use the car power supply in humid environments; 4. Unplug the charger promptly after charging; 5. The suitable operating temperature range is 0 to 45 degrees Celsius; 6. Clean the dirt at the car inverter plug in time to avoid poor contact or abnormal overheating of the converter.
Most household cars nowadays use a 12-volt electrical system. As someone who enjoys tinkering with car light modifications, I pay special attention to this voltage. All the vehicle's electrical components like cigarette lighter sockets and USB charging ports rely on this 12-volt power supply. Using the wrong voltage could potentially damage the equipment. Once when helping a friend install a dashcam, I discovered that trucks typically use 24-volt systems due to their higher electrical loads. It's important to note that during engine startup, the voltage may drop to around 10 volts - avoid using sensitive equipment during this time. After turning off the engine, the voltage usually stays between 11 to 12.5 volts, but listening to music for just half an hour might drain the battery enough to prevent starting. When choosing a car charger, always look for the 12-volt label. Personally, I like to keep a voltmeter handy to monitor my battery's health.
