Numerous people have cut the posts and then had weak or missing
connection when they tried to use the battery. We have covered it here

I was also hoping to run a few fans off the 120v for the trip.  2 fans, 2computers, 2 phones - a bit much amperage for the cig lighter I think...  I'll see if I can get this to work before I switch to 12v.  It SHOULD work...
