waeco 12 volt plug

Same issue here - the Waeco lead has sig voltage drop - I had a look at Jaycar and Dick Smith etc - no ideas there - will be interested to se if any pop up here - once out of warranty, you can take the cover off and simply install your own parallel wiring and plug set up.

morning people
i cut them off and changed the plug to a T plug 32volt and nice and tight no voltage drop hangs in the back of the truck power pack with both 240 and 12 volt all attached so i can plug into either

Hi Rooster

Your other option is to flat mount an Anderson plug on the fridge. This way the cable won't stick out too far.

Regards Derek.

If you only ever plan to connect your gear to your own vehicle, then there's no problem in using whatever plugs you like.

But the advantage of using plugs that are becoming a standard for 4WD owners, is that if you get stuck, you will be able to connect your gear to someon elses 4WD, even if only to test out a problem. Or charge your batteries from another vehicle.

The Anderson style connectors certainly are becoming the standard in threes sizes, because they have so many advantages. -
- genderless, so you don't have to buy both plugs and sockets and you can always connect two cables together.
- silver plated contacts are very reliable.
- will not fall apart, shake loose or get hot.

The three sizes are
- 30 amp Red and Black - $3.50 a pair from the Trader section of Exploroz. Used fro Fridges, Radios, Lights even 100 watt HF radios.
- 50 amp Grey - used for Battery and Trailer connectiosn not involving Starting or Winching current.
- 175 amp Grey - used where there is starting or winching current.

These are continuous current ratings, for intermittent loads the current can go over twice as high.

All these connectors are available nationwide from www.jaycar.com.au.
