Hi guys what is the wattage on the cig socket? Amps and Volts? Total being? I hear around 120 to 150 but does anyone know the exact number?
Per my manual, 10a or 120wNissanLeafCamper said:Hi guys what is the wattage on the cig socket? Amps and Volts? Total being? I hear around 120 to 150 but does anyone know the exact number?

Agreed, they probably use something like 16 or even 18 gauge wire to the socked running through numerous plugs, I personally wouldn't want to go around upsizing fuses. If you need more personally I'd run a #12 or #14 wire directly to the battery(using a inline fuse near the battery) which should give you a good circuit capable of 20 or 15 amps and possibly use a beefier socket. Not sure what the one on your Leaf looks like but more than likely everything is pretty much sized to capacity to save weight and mostly cost, I probably wouldn't want to run 20a through it.LeftieBiker said:NissanLeafCamper said:great thanks a lot 120 watts is not a lot but I guess the limit here is the fuse... but really that can be upgraded?

If it were a Lexus with a 10 amp fuse, I might consider a 12 or even 15 amp fuse, but with Nissan wiring, I'd either stick to 10 amps or run a new cable to a marine grade socket, and fuse that at the cable's amp limit.
