Equipment & add on acc. Amps

Sorry I can't find the post (think it was this board) that someone a while ago was thinkning of ordering a FEH(L?) as a company vehicle, can't recall if it was security, chase, or what but was curious about the draw of added accessoris like light bar & radios, etc.

I keep forgetting about the pdf I downloaded somewhere "2008 Escape hybrid modifiers guide". any here's a few pages from it:

Typical Police/Taxi Equipment

Loads for equipment commonly found on police vehicles are shown in the table below. Not all
equipment will be operating at the same time, so actual loads on the power supply system will
vary.

Component Amps

Communications Radio 5.0-20.0
Light Bar 28.0-43.0
LED Light Bar 6.0
Siren 15.0-30.0
Headlamp Flasher 1.0-1.5
LED Deck Bars/Led Visor 2.0
Lights
Radar 0.8
Taximeter 3.3
Receipt Printer 3.0
Spot Lights (each) 7.8
Alley Lights (each) 1.0

Camcorder 2.0

And just the usual equip.

Vehicle Component Electrical Loads

Vehicle component electrical loads are shown in the table below. Not all features are powered all
the time, so actual vehicle loads on the power supply system will vary.
Note: Smart junction box (SJB) fuse 1 (30A), circuit SBP04 (GN/RD) for the DC/AC power
inverter is at maximum available current limit when the power inverter is installed and used.
Do not splice into this fused circuit when the DC/AC power inverter is installed and used.
Note: SJB fuse 18 (20A), circuit SBP18 (YE/RD) for the heated seats is at maximum available
current limit when the heated seats option is installed and used. Do not splice into this
fused circuit when the heated seats option is installed and used.
Note: If the heated seat connectors are disconnected, DTCs will set in the electronic automatic
temperature control (EATC) module.
