    cigarrete lighter capacity ?

    hi guys, i was just wondering if this will not effect the electrical system of the 202, if multiple devices are plugged in.

    i will be plugging an ac/dc power inverter for laptop for GPS, a portable cooler/warmer, for food and drinks and a portable DVD player for entertainment.

    portable cooler/warmer consumes 3-4 amps

    w202 owners manual says cigarrete lighter plug can accomodate up to 85 watts.

    dont want to overload my electrical system or blow up any fuses, any help / advice greatly appreciated !

    hard wire it in if you want an inverter.
    85watts is rougly 7amps for your application i beleive.
    your inverter will most probebly want to draw more than this.
    it probebly only has a 10-15 amp fuse (cant remember exactly)
    but yea in short get it wired in another way for that larger draw
    -maby something similar to an amp wiring kit
    hope that helps
