Distributing 12V power in the car: what can be done safely?

Choosing an accessory for your car is easier when you know which features really matter. This practical guide helps you weigh up the options and avoid common mistakes.

Three things to consider

• Check the maximum current of your 12V connection.
• Add up the power consumption of all devices.
• Prevent overloading.

What is right for your situation?

The right choice depends on the car model, your devices and how you use the accessory. Therefore, check the dimensions, connection and product specifications. Also take the time to choose a safe place in the car: accessories must not obstruct your view, the controls or safety features.
