My 2008 FLHX owner's manual states:
"The lighter is not intended to be used as a power port for electrical devices. Damage to the lighter receptacle may occur."
I'm not an electrician so I can't make any sense of the service manual wiring diagrams and I can't find any info about the lighter's capacity. Is the manual talking about electrical damage or physical damage to the actual receptacle because it's not very sturdy?
It's 12 volt DC right? Same as the cigarette lighter in a car right? Any reason I can't plug a GPS or cell phone into it if I don't want to go through the trouble of hard wiring these items somewhere?
What is the HD power port all about? Just a stouter built version of the lighter?
Thanks - like I said I'm not an electrician if you haven't figured that out yet!
