Powering an AZ EQ5 mount (mains / wall power)

Recommended Posts

Ok, this might be the the dumbest question of the day, but please bear with me. I live in a country with ubiquitous public transportation and hence have no clue about cars, and subsequently, cigarette lighters.

I'd like to buy an AZ EQ5, and from what I've gathered, like almost all mounts, they use cigarette lighter plugs.

Now, my question, can I use the power cable with the cigarette lighter plug which is shipped with the mount with one of these power supplies? They all look like having a 'cigarette lighter receptacle'?

Or do I have to buy any additional converters / adapters for this to work?

All three have a suitable socket for the cigarette plug adapter.
