My kids watch DVDs and play their Nintendo NS on long road trips. The battery usually drains out less than half way to our destination. Is it ok to plug two or more electronics into a car's cigarette lighter without messing up the car battery or alternator? I have a Honda Accord.
Answer
Lighter will handle several DVD players and gaming systems simultaneously.
I currently run 3 cell phones, GPS, 3 game adapters, a DVD or two and a laptop concurrently from the lighter socket in my '04 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with no issues with blown fuses.
Added 12-27
Current draw for all of the items plugged in and running is 7A, below the 8A inline fuse to the octopus. 10A fuse for the lighter socket. Aftermarket wiring to socket is 8Ga. thru a 30A rated relay wired directly to the battery. Relay cuts power the the lighter socket at engine shutoff. All non-soldered electrical connections checked for corrosion and connection integrity monthly.

What to get an adventurous runner for Christmas?

I'm trying to find the perfect Christmas gift for my brother. He's a nineteen year old college kid. He's a crazy runner - just did the World's Toughest Mudder last weekend. I want to get him something unique, like the Survival Straps he just bought. Anyone have any ideas?
Answer
If you love your brother a lot, get him the soleus watch. It is made specifically for serious runners. It has a GPS, calculates current and total running distance, speed, water resistant and a heart rate monitor to make sure he's not pushing himself too hard where its unhealthy. This is the watch I'm talking about...

If you love him but your budget isn't high, your brother will really like the ironman flix watch. It's good so your brother can store all his training logs and workouts to see his improvements. It has a lot of functions without making the watch complicating. Good to keep track of all of his best running times. Would've been perfect to take on his tough mudder event.

Any christmas present you buy your brother will ALWAYS be a great gift regardless if you buy him the watch or not.
Hope that helps. Merry Christmas!!
