10 Amp limit for cigaretter lighter?

You can slide a 1/4" female spade terminal onto the supply side of the link position and then add an appropriately sized wire and fuse. The tap point is a 60A circuit, so you can safely add a 15 or 20 amp fused circuit to it.

That voltage tap is a constant +12v, right?
So, if I wanted to tap into that for a GPS or something, I would have to remember to turn it off?
Is there a 60A fuse under the hood, in case something causes a high current draw?

Correct on the constant. If you were running a low current device like a GPS, then you could just tap the lighter socket.

That feed is fused by a 60 fusible link on the + battery terminal.
