Once you are driving can you have too many "things" plugged in to your car's electrical system?
Off on a family holiday soon, 5 people in the car - 4 of whom are old enough to have 'gadgets' that they get worried about when they don't have power in them. Additionally we have a cold box that can plug in to the 12v plug in the boot of the car.
My knowledge of the car electrical system is pretty limited, I know the battery is recharged from the alternator as you drive and have never had problems (except once in Sweden when I forgot to unplug the cold box when we had stopped and camped and needed to jump start the car the next morning from our friendly French campsite neighbours!). But could four phones, a gps, a Switch and cold box (it says 4 amps on its label), the car headlights, radio and a/c (is that electrical in part?) draw more power from the battery than the alternator is recharging?
Cheers all.
