You will need an adapter with the plug that goes into your cigarette lighter jack.
This no longer true. Cars are capable of charging your device from the USB ports.

iPhones are designed for 5v, using a 9v battery without stepping the voltage down could damage your phone, plus a 9v battery only puts out about 500mah, about 25% of the iPhone battery capacity. Use your car or golf cart to charge.
