@whitequark factor of ten more than a typical USB PD device (laptop) and frequently comes with an onboard generator (ICE and alternator) to help keep up with demand/recharge it. I don’t know that I’d call that essentially infinite in a general sense, but it’s unlikely to be discharged in a reasonable time period.
@whitequark says someone who has needed their car jumped like four times for exactly that, but not for a few decades and forgot about it until reminded.
@whitequark oh, and had an alternator regulator die. That was fun. Sitting in dead traffic in neutral revving the engine to just the right rpm range so the dash lights don’t flicker, go out, and strand me with a tow bill II can’t afford on top of the cost of the new alternator.
@whitequark@c0dec0dec0de The battery in my Outback liked to die because Subaru didn’t put a big enough battery in to handle standard draw while the car is off if you don’t drive it more than once every other week.
