How many Amps can Flashlight charger deliver?

I'm using the flashlight charger as a switching power source (off when car is off) for all my gizmos. I'll be adding a couple more gizmos this week and my question is, how many amps can that plug safely deliver?

Note that I'm using an adapter similar to the one below to convert to a cigarette plug.

Thanks.

Did you check which fuse the flashlight charger is on?

Well that's my question. I'd like to avoid removing the glove blox and fishing through the fusebox (I'm not technically inclined). How do I know what fuse the charger is attached to?

I was hoping someone knew this off the top of their head.

You dont have to remove the glove box to see your fuses! There is a small flap/door inside the glove box that you lower down to see the fuses and on that flap will be the fuse list.

^Yep! No removing, no fishing - just reading.

That was easy. Just flip down and there they are!

The answer is 5 amps.

Thanks!
