12V Power socket question
How much power can I suck from the 12V outlets with it being in a safe range? I have some things I need to power & the 12V sockets would work great instead of a switch.
They are not that high power, about 5 amps each, but having several things spliced into the same cables, so maybe 15-20 amps total on each outlet.
Thanks

I don't think that those outlets are rated for that much power. You may be better off running another circuit directly off of the battery. Using an amp power kit would be a safe way to bring that type of power in.
10 gauge should be good for 15-20 amps

10 amps max

I would suspect that the console power outlet is on the same circuit. If this is correct, you will still be limited to 10 amps combined for both outlets.
