I agree. Had the same issue after using it to charge my phone . The inner contacts spread too wide and when I went to light a cancer stick the lighter popped completely out while cruising, and there it was... gone !

old thread, I know...I wired up one of these to put in the saddlebag, used a plug that works with the battery tender wire. had trouble with the cigarette lighter plug in breaking contact from vibration when riding.

My GPS plug would hit the tank so I pulled off the outer fairing, went to Autozone and picked up a replacement cig lighter receptacle and wired it up to the back of the original so I could plug my phone in. I ran the phone plug to come out the top of the fairing between my 3 pouch bags, filed a slot with a round file for the wire and kept the plug in in the right bag. So I could charge my phone while riding.
