I want to connect up a portable 12volt TV for about an hour a day via the cigarette lighter whilst the engine is off, (I will be driviing for about an hour later in the day) couple of questions:

1. Will my 1 hour journey recharge sufficiently for the hour I have drained ?

2. I assume this will do no permanent damage and

3. An hours usage won't drain so much power that the car won't start !

Lots of sad technical questions I know, so no mickey taking please.
