Is 150 watts too much run thru my vans cigarette lighter?

The power inverter i just got recommends hardwiring to the car battery if using 150 or more watts. i certainly dont want a fire, but i also dont want the project of hardwiring if its unnecessary. i plan on powering (not necessarily at the same time), a 13" tv/dvd combo, a cell phone, a set of powered computer speakers, and a couple lamps.

    Check your cig lighter fuse. AMPS X VOLTS = max WATTS.

    If it's a 10 amp fuse, 10 amps times ~13.6 volts = 136 watts max. Looks like you would be pushing it.
