Does Car Heated Seat Cushion Damage the Battery?

[RoseMarie]

Using a heated seat cushion normally while the car is running does not cause any damage to the car battery or circuits. However, it should not be used when the engine is off to avoid damaging the car's electrical circuits and depleting the battery. Avoid Using Car Electronics When the Engine Is Off: The car heated seat cushion is connected to the power source via the cigarette lighter. The fuse for the car cigarette lighter is generally 15~25A, and the reserved circuit can also support external devices that do not exceed this rating. However, the capacity of a car battery is usually below 60Ah, and the battery's charge level is not always at full capacity. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using car electronics when the engine is off, as this can easily lead to battery depletion. Beware of Cushion Water Seepage: The heating function of the car seat cushion is controlled by electricity. The most basic requirement for using electrical appliances is to ensure that water does not seep into the cushion, as this can easily lead to electric shock accidents.
