How many amps is the Haval cigarette lighter?
2 Answers
Haval cigarette lighters are generally 12V, and the connection to the fuse box is usually 15-20A. Cigarette lighter load: The general maximum power capacity of a cigarette lighter is 120W. Exceeding this value can easily cause the cigarette lighter to overload, leading to various hazards such as burning out the lighter. Using the cigarette lighter for extended periods: If you need to use the cigarette lighter for a long time or with high-power devices, it is necessary to start the car engine to enhance the power supply. This prevents draining the car battery. The cigarette lighter in the car draws DC power from the car's alternator. As long as the car's engine is running, it drives the alternator to generate electricity, which is the source of power for all in-car electrical usage.
The cigarette lighter in Haval vehicles is typically rated at 10 amps, which is adequately designed for everyday use like charging phones or powering car navigation systems, as well as lighting cigarettes. However, it's important not to exceed this limit to avoid blowing fuses or damaging the circuit. I frequently use this socket in my car for charging—it's quite convenient, located right next to the driver's seat within easy reach. But be cautious: avoid plugging in high-power devices like inverters or heaters. Once, I accidentally plugged in a car vacuum cleaner, and the excessive current caused the fuse to blow, leaving me stranded on the roadside until I could get it fixed. It's advisable to regularly check and clean the socket interface to prevent dust buildup from affecting connectivity. In summary, safe usage is key—always read the manual to understand specific parameters and avoid risks. Take good care of this handy tool while driving.
