Also, the car's battery is rated at what, 500-600 Amps? A cellphone battery is 4-5 amps... I don't think you should be worrying much. If the car's running... non issue. If you have a dashcam that is "always-on" to record when parked during the day, the power needed is so miniscule that it also should be a non issue.

Which is why in the past, leaving lights on can easily run a battery dead. If you left on your driving lights (2x 55w) with interior bulbs or fogs on (4x 12w/2x 25) the battery would be dead in 6 hours.
Irrelevant though, as NP said the outlet is switched with ignition.

You're referring to the cold cranking amps, which is typically 500-800. The amp hour (usage) rating of the battery refers to it's storage capacity. My battery is 650CCA and is 75AH - I could pull 3.25amps per hour for 20 hours.
