Watts Divided by volts equals amps
Amps times volts equals watts.
So, 150 watts divided by 120 volts is 1.25 amps
Or something like that... -
I have the Loves 400 watt that will run PS4 via CIG lighter plug, but only with truck running.
-
And if you need the truck running to get it, it means that it is very close to the limit. -
Scott101 Thanks this.

So it can be done, barely.
It is pushing the limit though.
The PS4 should only be run through the front, especially in a Volvo. The sleeper plugs don't seem to have enough voltage to power even my laptop consistently, unless the truck is running.
The dash plugs always work fine, however.
I didn't seem to have the same problem in the ProStar or Cascadia. -
Watch out for inverters. The have what is called the efficiency factor. All inverters take power to make power. If a 400 watt inverter is only 80% efficient then it's only good for 320 watts. The more money you pay for an inverter the more efficient it usually is.

I never leave home with out my DB4 running 24/7
