Have a look in the handbook and see what the fuse rating is. What do you want to power from it?

I wouldn't want to try to pull any more than a couple of Amps through it, 5 peak at absolute max but only for a few seconds. The connectors are only pushed together so there isn'texactly a good connection there to carry heavy current loads or the wiring to handle it either. If you think you are going to use it regularly wire in a dedicated high amp connector like a computer power connector or one for R/C car battery packs on the end of some spliced in wire. At least then you won't loose 2 or more volts across the connection under a load of anything over 1 amp.

Thanks for that. I was hoping to be able to run an inverter for the kids to have a laptop running for a long trip and possibly the fridge, looks like I might have to find a plan B.

Thanks for the advice.

Rather than running an invertor to convert 12 volts DC up to 230v AC, then use the laptop power supply to convert that back down to 19v DC, which is extremely inefficient in terms of 12V power consumption, you can now get laptop power supplies which run directly off the 12V car supply, using far less power. I have certainly used a fridge, or at least one of those powered cool boxes on my 307 rear socket whith no problems at all.
