The cigarette lighter receptacle in an automobile was initially designed to power an electrically-heated lighter for cigarettes. It was later used as a de-facto standard DC connector to supply electrical power for portable accessories used in or near an automobile. Many portable electronic devices such as music players or mobile telephones use a cigarette lighter receptacle to recharge their internal batteries or to directly operate from the vehicle electrical system.
Adapters for electronic devices may change voltage to be compatible with the supplied device. Devices that require alternating-current power at 120 volts or 240 volts can be operated with a plug-in inverter. The cigarette lighter receptacle is a convenient and nearly universal feature of automobiles.
