My bet would be that provided the laptop battery is already fully charged the typical current draw, wattage use, of your laptop would be in the range of 30-50 watts. 90 watts is probably the maximum rating of the laptop's 115 VAC power supply and only rises to that level with the laptop componentry powered and charging a fully discharged laptop battery.

the big problem for me is that the outlets DO NOT work when the car is off as far as i can tell.
this is so dumb. in this day and age where people depend on their cell phone it would be nice to let your phone charge while you are out of the car for a while or even over night.
the argument that it prevents a battery from draining does not hold up as most devices do not draw that much power and they stop when the battery is full.

I did a quick google search on that grill and it seems to vary between 800 W and 1500 W. I would guess that, the wattage is too much for an electric grill because 800>100.

I wonder if anyone has rewired their outlet so it will still work when the vehicle is off?

OK, let's assume i have a device that draws 90 W (say it's a laptop without the battery) and also assume I have two VAC outlets. Can I plug in and use two laptops, or am I limited to just one?

Personally if that was what was needed I would not hesitate to plug in two laptops rated at 90 watts, esepcially with the engine running to maintain the charge level of the car battery.
