Sorry, but I'm not following. So there is power to the socket with the car shut off and locked, but after 20 minutes all power to everything is cut; meaning the socket as well? And then what; if you first plug something into the socket after those 20 minutes, power to the socket is cut only if the car senses a battery 'depletion'? Thanks for the prompt reply.
