-==== breaking the 10A barrier ==== 
  
-[[electrical:12v:ports|Ciggy outlet]] power is typically limited to 10A (~120w).  +=== Instant Pot Duo Mini ===
  
-If you wanted to extract more power from the alternator you could wire in [[electrical:12v:alternator|an isolator]] (plain solenoid or VSR).  Instead of feeding an auxilliary battery this isolator would be used to pull more current into the living area.  You could run 12v loads directly, or attach an inverter's input wires to the isolator's outputs.((positive to isolator, negative to chassis ground))+The smallest (3qt) and lowest-powered (700w) IP will likely be the best fit for those who want to try such cookers.  It is reported to run correctly off both 1000w inverters, both MSW and PSW.((PSW might be better for efficiency and timer accuracy -- secessus))
