Cigarette Lighter Power Sockets

If you have had problems in your motorhome with 12 volt cigarette lighter sockets not fitting the plugs on inverters, cell phone adapters or other 12 volt appliances, here is a good article.  There are actually 2 sizes of sockets and plugs.  Also, absolute maximum power should be less than 240 watts.  That is 12 vdc fused at 20 amps.  Most are fused at 7 amps.  Thus the largest inverter than can be plugged in is 240 watts if fused for 20 amps and 140 watts if fused at 7 amps
