12V accessory max wattage shared or per socket?

[Finkerton]

Ford's manual says that you can use the 12V socket to to power up to 240W. What it doesn't say is whether that's per socket or not. Since the HVB can easily keep up charging the LVB at that rate (according to this discsusion), I imagine it's just a matter of whether they're on the same or different circuits. Does anyone know the answer? It'd be super helpful to me if I can safely get 480W of power by having an inverter hanging off each 12V socket.

Look at the fusebox diagrams. If they are on the same 20amp fuse then it is 240 watts for all, if they use separate fuses then it is 240 watts per circuit as determined by the fuses.

Now to find fusebox diagrams :-D

manual page 277 shows at least two fuses, 61 and 71.
