Use the cigarette lighter to pay attention to these 4 points non-smokers also look at
1, to avoid overloading
Most car owners use the cigarette lighter as a car power supply. However, the hole's carrying capacity is not as large as a household outlet. Generally speaking, the maximum current that the cigarette lighter circuit can withstand is generally 10A, and some cigarette lighters have a maximum current of 20A.
Owners should avoid overloading the cigarette lighter when using it, and the maximum power of the electrical appliances used should not be more than 120 watts, so as to minimize the use of high-power electrical appliances.
2. Don't expose the cigarette lighter directly
When a cell phone is low on power, most car owners will choose to unplug the cigarette lighter and plug the phone's charging cable into an outlet. When the phone is fully charged, simply unplug the charging cable from the socket, the cigarette lighter will not be reinstalled, and the bare plug is directly exposed in the car.
This practice is only a moment of convenience and a lifetime of regret! In any case, the cigarette lighter socket should not be exposed for a long time. On the one hand, it can easily cause the cigarette lighter to malfunction; on the other hand, there are safety hazards such as short circuits and spontaneous combustion. Car owner's friends need to remember that they should plug in the cigarette lighter promptly after using it.
3. Avoid using electrical appliances that do not meet quality standards
There are various types of equipment in the car, including air purifiers, humidifiers and other types of equipment, which car owners are free to buy according to their needs. Some car owners do not pay attention to the brand, but only to the price. Pursuing low price, you are likely to buy some poor quality or quality inspection failed appliances.
If this kind of appliance is used in the cigarette lighter socket, accidents can easily happen. Car owners need to strictly check the quality of products when choosing in-car devices, and choose products with good quality and low price.
4, to avoid long-term electrical appliances inserted in the cigarette lighter socket
Many people will put the charging cable of the cell phone into the cigarette lighter socket for a long time, thinking that it is more convenient to charge in this way. I have met many drivers who operate in this manner. It's really convenient for charging a cell phone, but it's wrong, especially for those of you who have plugged your car recorders and external appliances into the cigarette lighter socket.
These appliances use a lot of power. When the car restarts, it generates a strong current which will easily cause damage to the electrical equipment. In addition, the whole car will be a safety hazard.
