Cigarette lighter amps rating on 172?

[mark123]

Any one know what the power rating/max amps/fuse a 172 cigarette lighter is?

Thanks

I've answered my own question. It is on the same circuit as the stereo and is fused at 15A.

I cannot remmeber of the top of my head 15amp comes to mind I've run a laptop off it via an inverter without issue.

However the fuese also powers some other things so they take awway some of your allowance if there used.

If you need more power than the lighter can provide then you can run a lead direct from the battery via a relay (from the cig lighter as you don't wantt it working when the lighter doesn't work otherwise you'll have a flat battery) to under a spare cig lighter/power sourse or direct to inverter or to the cigarettel lighter/adapters.

I'm looking at doing the same.

I should be fine with the laptop.
