Is There a Max for Power Outlet


Recommended Posts

I just got a Garmin High Speed Multi-charger.

 

It plugs into the power port, and has two USB's and a socket for a car adapter.

 

The USB's are rated at 2.1a output each, the socket at 2.4a.

 

I'm wondering if I used all three at the same time if it would overload the power port?

In general, those 12V power points are wired with some hefty wire, so I really doubt any type of charger could overload them.

 

Look up the fuse rating for the 12V power point- that'll tell you how many maps you can safely pull. Or just run it and if the fuse blows, you know you've overloaded it!
