Hi,
My front 2 12V sockets are marked 180W, so 15A at 12V.
However, I'm finding that a Cellink-B LIFePO dashcam battery pack charging plug is running rather warmer than I'd like.
It has 2 settings:
7.5A - says "hardwire only". However, as the scokets were marked 180W, I gave that a try. 15 minutes and the plug tip was too hot to touch, so I'd guess about 60-70C - the working limit of PVC insulated cable.
The official setting for plug in mode of 5A is better, but the plug still runs very very warm after 15 minutes. I'd expect it to be cold.
So I am thinking 180W is time limited and the continuous running current is rather lower.
Had anyone had any experience of larger continuous loads through the aux power sockets?
Cheers,
Tim
