What is the power of the Nissan Qashqai cigarette lighter?
2 Answers
The power of the Nissan Qashqai cigarette lighter is 12V-100W. Here are some common mistakes when using the cigarette lighter: 1. Not unplugging external devices when starting the car: External devices connected to the cigarette lighter can easily burn out due to the high current surge during vehicle startup, especially MP3 players and USB drives. Therefore, it's recommended to unplug them after use and reconnect them after the car has started. 2. Not unplugging external devices when turning off the car: Depending on the vehicle's settings, some cigarette lighters remain powered even after the car is turned off, which can lead to unnecessary battery drain if external devices are left plugged in for extended periods.
The maximum power capacity of the X-Trail's cigarette lighter is generally around 120 watts. This value is derived from the basic principle of 12-volt vehicle voltage multiplied by a 10-ampere rated current. I usually connect devices like dash cams and phone chargers, but it's important to note that high-power equipment such as car refrigerators can easily trigger fuse blowouts. Once, a friend borrowed my car vacuum cleaner, and it tripped immediately upon plugging in. Later, we found out the vacuum was labeled with an excessive power rating of 150 watts. Nissan models have quite similar cigarette lighter designs, so it's best to keep usage within 100 watts to allow for a safety margin, as overheating circuits can pose safety hazards.
