i have a 12v dvd player for the car ,I've tried it in the house with a 12v transformer i have.
the problem is it won't work is this to do with drawning more miliamps than the transformer can handle.300
how many milliamps does a cigar lighter rate at is it 500???
is this why? thanks |

By the handbook it states that the cigarette lighter will take up to 120Watts what is 10A.
300 milliamps is really 0.3Amps.
Don't forgetting you need the key turned for the lighter to work. _________________ Beat

I take it that it is ment for incar use, DC and not AC current? _________________ Beat
