I think he had it running to an inverter so he could power up his 19 inch satnav system on his laptop......  :D

About as clever as when my Grandad decided he'd put a huge battery in his moggy minor to help it start. He slammed the bonnet down, pleased with his work, only to see two dents in the shape of battery terminals appear in the bonnet, and the paint between them start to turn brown and bubble up!  :o :'(

That should do the job?

Front Fag lighter powers PDA, rear fag ligher for iPod, phones other things. Car battery is for Inverter, guessing that inline  fuse should be good?

A fag lighter will normally supply at least 10 amps, which is plenty for numerous phones, IPODs, etc. Would probably power a couple of laptops too. If I were you I'd get a 4 into 1 lighter plug adaptor.

At the rate Tunnie is going on maybe a small genny in the passenger footwell would be a better plan.
