[QRP-L] Re: [Elecraft] Radio Shack "Power Up" Device

[Dave Sublette]

I notice that these devices come with various ratings up to 30 amps.  
Please be aware that the cigarette lighter socket in your auto is 
probabably fused at five amps or so and the design of the cigarette 
lighter plug probably will not sustain more than five amps without 
melting down.  I know....I have melted one in my car while running a 
laptop computer for my Street Atlas Program....K4TO
