When reading through my manual I noticed these two statements:

Do not use with accessories that exceed a 12 volt, 120W (10A) power draw.

Avoid using power outlets when the air conditioner, headlights or rear window defroster is on.

First off all, 120W power draw, in my jeep I regularly ran a 300w heater (one of those small barely any heat kind) with not apparent problems. I am not sure how much wattage it pulled for sure but. would the X have a problem if I hooked this up? I doubt I ever will need to but would like to be able to. I am getting a power inverter that is 200W, would this be an issue, I assume so?

Can the X not support the AC, headlights and rear defroster on while having an accessory plugged in, I would think this shouldn’t be a problem?

I normally run an IPOD on a charger and when I go camping I will have IPOD, rechargeable lantern, a cell phone to hook up (really roughing it huh).

Let me know your opinions or experiences or if this has been discussed can you please link me I couldn’t find any thing in my search. (feel free to post the you suck at the internet pic)

If your heater draws less then 120W, then it will run. Go over 120W and your fuse will blow.

Although i don't have an answer, it's a good question that i don't think has really been discussed so i'm sure some of these guys will be more than willing to help you out!

I can tell you this.

I have run a spotlight, air compressor, and Koolatron 12 Volt Freezer all at the same time with no problems. I admit it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but no fuses burned.

its probably a liability thing...so when you run stuff, and one of the outlets doesn't work...

Nissan can just say "look! i told you so!" ....

Last time I went camping we drained the batt. and no one could get to us unless they had a good 4X4 so we had to push it down to a spot where some one could jump us........Long story

Batt isnt as strong as it should be so be careful!!!!!!11

I have read that the bat dies quickly, but if she is running it should hold a charge. My old battery in my jeep I could leave the head lights on all night and it would start right up (only happened 2 or 3 times). It was a monster though with 900 cold crankin' amps to start it on those cold Minnesota mornings.

So really then the 120 seems like a Nissan precaution and maybe so you don't run the battery out, but the system itself can handle a larger load.
