I have a Tesla and would like to use the cig socket to charge my RV battery. The socket gives 15.5 volts and 12 amps continuous output. Is there a Victron product that I could use in the scenario?

Using Tesla cig socket as power source to charge RV battery
Cig sockets in cars are typically rated for 10A max; your Tesla cig socket is rated at 12 A; the wiring will be flimsy accordingly.
To answer your question : yes, it will probably work, but you are at the very limit .... Why don´t you change the cig socket into something a little bit more solid, like e.g.an Anderson PP30 or PP45 with thicker wire accordingly - would make me feel a lot more comfy, if I were you !
Thanks so much, very helpful. Do you mean removing the cig socket and replacing with an anderson connector? What about the rest of the wire leading back to the battery? Sounds like a job that may be too tough to tackle, and might run afoul of Tesla warranty? Thanks again for your expertise!
