So I have a 5a dual usb charger that I used to replaced my lighter. If I plugged my GalaxyS5 into it and its batter was below 50% the charger would shut down.
Last week my hybrid battery died so I brought a replacement and now the charger is working flawlessly at any level.
I was wondering if the lighter pulls current from the hybrid battery?

I would thing the light pulls current from the regular batter in the trunk. and as that drops below a certain level then it gets charged by the main batter through the inverter. Or at least that is my understanding of how it is all related.
