is it that simple?

Does that BGM ac and dc regulator really make things that simple? If I were to replace my standard regulator with this, would all I have to do to get a cigarette lighter socket for charging a phone/sat nav is to wire it up along with a battery?

yes

Do they work well?

I use a 3.5 amp alarm battery in-line. I run scoot as normal (rallies) then charge fone when needed.

I wouldn't mind to do something like that eventually, but I could do with getting the hang of something really basic first.

I guess this regulator would only supply enough DC power for low powered items, I guess you'd struggle with with say some extra lights and a music player too? Haha...

Can some explain to me in laymans terms what the wiring would involve for just a cigarette lighter and battery to be hooked up?

My mate runs one for a digital egt. It does the job but on tickover the egt reading alomst disappears. If you wanted perfection run a battery in the circuit as well but yes they do work.

i fitted a bike battery to my legsheild spare wheel carrier then ran a wire with fuse holder from the dc outlet on the bgm to the battery then earthed the battery to one of the holes in the spare wheel carrier when down halfords got a fag lighter wired it an now can power sat nav gps moby charger pump up air bed etc the battery holds 13 volts all the time
