I have a Panasonic portable DVD player. I see by the hole for the power plug that it says 9V. Could I buy any 9 volt AC adapter and plug my player into my car? Would this hurt my player? The factory car adapter is quite expensive.
And no...I'm not going to watch it while I drive.

you need an adapter that will convert the 12v DC car battery to 9v DC for your DVD player. It also needs to be able to supply enough current. If you have the specs for the factory car adapter then you could use one that matches the same specs. Just make sure the voltage is the same (9v DC), and the current is at least the same. Example is if the factory one outputs 200ma, then the one you get needs to be able to output at least 200ma, but it could also be higher, say 300ma, but it would cost more.
As someone alse said, aslo make sure the polarity is the same. Most likely if it isnt it just wont work. I doubt very much it would damage the DVD player.

not truly particular if i'm lacking some thing right here Gareth? in straightforward words a 12V battery charger will cost a 12V vehicle battery! your altenator in many situations keeps trickle charging the battery at the same time as the vehicle is operating, yet once you've a flat battery or a replace one, then it really is going to pick charging out of the vehicle. in straightforward words a charger designed for vehicle batteries will artwork although... a small 12 v plug in charger used for a transportable television or the like received't have adequate amperage to price a vehicle battery. A Vauxhall Omega 2.5 litre engine will pick a huge volume of oompfh to exhibit over. in the experience that your battery has drained it has drained for a reason... 4/5 situations I actual have had a difficulty it has both been a defective battery or has ended up with the battery being damaged with the knocking down. Get it checked to ascertain if it really is going to 'carry a cost' previously you waste time attempting to recharge it. My Vauxhall 2.2 petrol engine, needed an upgraded battery. The AA guy stated i'm getting a battery designed for a Diesel engine as they have extra amps and ability. desire that has responded your question , yet amend your question in case you pick some thing else.

no. there are 2 reasons. First of, some plugs have a posative and nagitive ground. and others have a nagitive and posative ground. dont ask me why but thats how it is. and the other reason is amps. Some 9v adapters put out more amps then others. you should look for the one that is made for your DVD player befor you try your luck on something that my kill the player.
