It is definitely supposed to be 12v, so if yours isn't, you have an issue somewhere.

It should charge it. Something is wrong. Does your cigarette lighter get hot when you push it?

It's most definitely 12v and should charge a phone. Does your lighter work?

They're on the same fuse. If one works, they both should.
