Niko182 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Posted April 20, 2018 Anyone happen to know if the eagle has a cigarette lighter and where. Im picking my eagle up tomorrow and expecting to be at least 6 hours in the plane and charging my phone and ipad would be great. Thanks Nik Quote
steingar Posted April 20, 2018 Report Posted April 20, 2018 Mine won't charge the iPad, I haven't tried the phone yet. It will charge the Stratus. Quote

M20S Driver Posted April 20, 2018 Report Posted April 20, 2018 Mine has one and with the right adapter charges my iPhone and iPad. I can plug in the stratus and it works fine. Eagle is 28 volts but my cig lighter adaptor converts it to 12 volts. Quote
M20S Driver Posted April 20, 2018 Report Posted April 20, 2018 Right above throttle and prop. See pic. 1 Quote

kmyfm20s Posted April 20, 2018 Report Posted April 20, 2018 My is to the right of the flap switch underneath the panel. The panel facing co-pilots legs. Quote
hypertech Posted April 20, 2018 Report Posted April 20, 2018 The one in my ovation will charge an ipad no problem. I also have one of these and it works really well. It can charge an ipad several times over and keep a stratus running for many many hours before recharging. Note that that if you drain it all the way it takes something like 12 hours to fully recharge. https://www.ravpower.com/26800mah-external-battery-charger-iSmart2.0-black.html Quote

jetdriven Posted April 21, 2018 Report Posted April 21, 2018 this or something like it will charge the ipad a few times. i own one. I have found in cruise there isnt much need for an ipad, turning off the screen makes it last all day. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh-Portable-Compatible/dp/B01LQ81QR0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1524285835&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=power+bank+anker&psc=1 Quote

Thanks and sorry for my inability to find something so simple. Yes, I pulled the picture from the ebay ad that I had shared on the post where you were looking for an Eagle. I hope that's a cigarette lighter socket in the picture. It looks like it though. Best wishes on the return trip in your new Mooney! Quote
warren.huisman Posted April 21, 2018 Report Posted April 21, 2018 Mine won't charge the iPad, I haven't tried the phone yet. It will charge the Stratus. You need a 2 amp USB adapter to charge an iPad or even to keep it charged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
carusoam Posted April 21, 2018 Report Posted April 21, 2018 So now we know where the socket is... 1) Be sure to know what voltage it is being served... the plane is 28v, but some Moonies have a transformer to deliver 12v to the socket. 2) If it is a 28v socket be sure you have a USB plug that can handle both 12 and 24v... 3) If you have only one socket, you might to have one of those splitter devices to feed a couple different portable devices. 4) An extra USB battery makes a lot of sense. 5) Nothing like guessing everything will work out right.... have a Plan B and a Plan C... My ‘94 O has only one socket @28V... Best regards, -a- Quote

That ended up not being the socket. it was a data port. the plane doesn't have a socket. 4) An extra USB battery makes a lot of sense. I fly with 2 spare batteries no matter where I go. 5) Nothing like guessing everything will work out right.... have a Plan B and a Plan C... our flight plan didn't work out. ended up getting stuck in dodge city, Kansas KDDC. A lot of hiccups on the flight too. some scarier than others. but one thing I can say. THAT IS ONE FAST AIRPLANE. 2 Quote
