That's probably a little high for current drain. I would say it is
more typically 11 A. My IC-746 running 100-watts on 2-meters draws
only 18 A. Yes, I know you said, "up to."

A typical 50W mobile will pull up to 15 A off 12 VDC at max power TX.

Most do not have this extra port, and do direct wiring from the
battery through the firewall, fused on both sides.

Happy trails,
