assuming all unnecessary electronics such as the radio, headlights, cabin lights, etc. were off, how much electricity could i continuously get out of the cigarette lighter.

im running a 120v 100 watt inverter on full. it has its own in-line fuse as well. i want to know if the alternator will be able to sustain the inverter while the vehicle is idle or in motion

look at system requirements on the inverter it should tell you how much it will draw.
