    you can hook up all the lighter plugs in series parallel whatever you want
    BUT if you run too much current thru these little 16-20 guage wires you will create a short and burn something
    it is a disservice to every driver who doesn't understand 12 volt electricity and inverters very well
    to suggest otherwise
    there is a reason companies dont allow drivers free reign to play with stuff they know nothing about

    I dunno, but every time I read about these people stuck in some truck gaming this song runs though my head...

    Got me a 1,000 watt inverter hard wired to the battery from the manufacturer. Run my laptop like a dream, and lasts for hours.

    Find a better carrier.
