Default Boot power outlet

Hello!
I’m just wondering whether it’s ok to use a laptop charger rated at 20V 300W with the socket in the back rated at 240V 180W (I think)?
It charged just fine for about 20 minutes when it just stopped charging. It’s not the computer nor charger as they are working fine plugged into an actual wall outlet, and the car didn’t show any signs of issues that could be related except Apple CarPlay wigging out (with the LR system) at the end of the journey a couple hours later.
Let me know what you think.

It's about no pure sinus wave inverter .

See my upgrade

It may work for a bit to charge it, but I do not recommend that you use it beyond what it is rated for. Search the forums, you have lots of way to upgrade this.
