Wouldn't it be better to run a supply directly from the fuse box?
That might be. usually the cig adapter extension wires are very thin..but I suppose they would carry max 10A, what is exactly the ampers that fuse can take. It would be good idea to get power straight from the fusebox, but I have no idea how to do that and where should I connect those wires. Cig adapter plugs are so easy to use..
