Re: [A/S] 12-volt outlet in truck

I just talked to one of our electrical guru's here at
work.  He noted that a 200 watt inverter is a pretty
healthy unit to power a laptop.  Some cigarette
lighters are fused as low as 8 amps.  Dependent upon
the type of inverter you have and the amperage draw,
your inverter may be producting a full 200 watts even
though your PC requires less.  In that case the
inverter will be pulling full amperage, and if its in
excess of 8, that fuse will fail.
