Car Power Adapters Blowing Fuses?

[JeckeL]

A couple of employees have reported blown fuses in their vehicles while using power inverter/adapters ( http://www.amazon.com/BESTEK%C2%AE-Inverter-inverter-Adapter-Charger/dp/B003Q54V88/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1427309322&sr=8-3&keywords=vehicle+outlet+adapter ) to charge their company laptops while traveling. I'm not very familiar with automobile fuses and electricity in general (voltage, wattage, etc) unless we're talking PSU's, the only thing I noticed is that the inverters are rated for 75w+ and the AC adapters are only 65w. Only two people (both drive subarus) have reported this issue, 30+ other employees have been using the power inverters successfully.

Fuses are not supposed to blow unless the circuit is over-loaded, so you might want to check how much current the inverter and laptop adapters actually draw, check the fuse rating and investigate what other accessories might be sharing it.
