I have a blackvue DR590-2CH with a "power consumption avg. 290mA (3.48W at 12V)". The camera comes with a cigarette lighter plug. I'd like to use the Model 3 USB outlet (5V/2A) instead. Also, this post.

Do you think this converter will do the job? My basic concern is knowing enough to be dangerous and breaking something expensive or setting something on fire.

u/LJ-Rubicon · 2 pointsr/cars

Yup, that'll work.

Benefit of replacing the cigarette lighter is you'll have the negative and positive, fused, cables right there. Super easy

With the one you linked, you'll need to wire to a 12v source and add a fuse. You'll have to find your accessory wire to tap into, so it's not powered with the key off. (unless you want 12v to it at all times, I charge my phone in my car while I'm in work, so it's nice to have that feature)

I still think going with the cigarette lighter port is the best bet.

You could always keep this in the glove box just in case

Nope. USB only.

Edit: which brings up a point I didn’t think about....

Must be an adapter.

Here is the battery pack. The pack should put out 5v 3amps per USB unless I've misread, however this product and ones like it tend to convert 5v power from USB to 0.8amp max output at 12v DC, but the fan should require 1.2amp of 12v DC to run on low.

Edit: I located some testing on a similar product in a review that might be helpful:

This seems to do fairly well though I'm unclear what they think their ratings are. I connected this to a 60-watt 5V Anker 6-port USB power strip (which I have verified is better than 5% tolerance 5V at 2.8A on a single port) and began to take measurements.

Max power without total shutting down:
Input 5.08V at 1.9A
Output 10.01V at 818mA
---- Or slightly closer to 12V ----
Input 5.08V at 1.86A
Output 11.33V at 708mA

Max power stable long-term:
Input 5.03V at 1.86A
Output 11.62V at 675mA
Duration - 20 minutes stable, immediately following max-power test

This suggests that this 12V adapter will reasonably provide continuous output at 12V around 670mA with the capability to have higher surge-current but at the cost of dropping more voltage. I was very pleased with how cool it ran - only slightly warm to the touch (113F on the plastic case as measured on IR thermometer). In the event of an overload it does seem to fail gracefully and "shut down" the converter (outputting about 4.5V until reset) on severe overload then "resets" if it is unplugged for a couple minutes.

Definitely, you just need to convert the 12v into a trickle charge. There are many ways to do this, some more efficient than others. There might be a AA charger that runs off of 12v, might have a cig lighter input and be in automotive sections. Let me look on Amazon and stuff.
