Does anyone know the fuse size on our cigarette lighters power ports?
(2013 LR4 HSE Lux)

I want to buy a charger for an accessory but it requires a 10A fuse.

And I guess the second question, if it’s less than 10A, is all the wiring rated for it if I bump up the fuse size?

Okay, okay... I RTFM. (Wasn’t in my car when I posted earlier)

15A is my guess as the manual says they’re good for 180W. I don’t know if that’s any of them or all combined... (let me keep reading)

...according to the manual, they are fused for 20A! Front and Center combined, and I think the rear is separate.

Now I REALLY have to do that 2nd battery mod so I can have the rear port active even when the car is turned off. Just too many times I can't charge something unless the engine is running.

Actually it looks like it's the other way around - the center and the rear are on a single 20a and the front is on a separate 20a fuse. That's at least the way I'm reading my manual.
