Is there constant 12v anywhere?

[white03]

Looking for a constant power outlet in my Stinger. Other discussion on the USB port, but mine powers off when I open the door or after a couple minutes.

There's a "cigarette lighter" type round receptacle next to my USB port, is it constant power? Owners manual reads like it might be, but not sure.

Is there any power outlet that keeps 12v after the engine is shut off?

Thank you

USB and Cig adapter are not constant as you figured out. There are no "user" outlets available but there are several fuses that are. Both in the drivers fuse box and under the hood. What are you trying to power 24/7?

yes, looking for a way to charge cell phone at hunting club, which doesn't have power

ewwww, I wouldn't do that. Get you one of these, it will charge like 100 phones for days. They have cigarette receptacles and USB built in.

Tap into a a fuse. With an add a fuse. Use power seat fuse or similar that on when car isn't. Then add a 12v to 5v USB adapter. Really cheap

I always keep a charged portable USB battery pack handy. There are ones available rated 25000mah that will charge a phone several times over on a single charge.
