2. Automobile auxiliary power outlet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_auxiliary_power...

   The use of cigarette lighter receptacles to supply 12 volt DC power is an example of backward compatibility to a de facto standard. As a power connector, the lighter receptacle is larger, harder to use and less reliable than other DC connectors [citation needed]. Cigarette lighter receptacles are in widespread use in many highway vehicles and ...

3. Automobile accessory power - Wikipedia

   The French company Citroën devised a high-pressure hydraulics system for cars which was used for all manner of systems, even power-adjustable seats. The 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee had a hydraulically driven radiator fan, powered by the SUV's power steering pump.

4. Jump start (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle)

   An alternative to jumper cables is a cable used to interconnect the 12 volt power outlets (cigarette lighter outlets) of two vehicles. This method slowly recharges the battery, not by providing the current needed for cranking, as the engine cranking motor current draw will greatly exceed the fuse rating in a cigarette lighter outlet.

   A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.

6. 48-volt electrical system - Wikipedia

   A 48 V system can provide more power, improve energy recuperation, [7] and allow up to an 85% decrease in cable mass. [10]12-volt systems can provide only 3.5 kilowatts, while a 48 V power could achieve 15 to 20 kW or even 50 kW. 48 volts is below the level that is considered safe in dry conditions without special protective measures. [11]

7. 42-volt electrical system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42-volt_electrical_system

   Applications that once were thought to require higher voltages, such as electrical power steering, were subsequently achieved with 12-volt systems. [1] In the late 2000s, 42-volt electrical components were used in only a few automotive applications, since incandescent light bulbs work well at 12 volts and switching of a 42-volt circuit is more ...
