Hi,
I have a Waeco fridge.
I have both a cigarette lighter plug and a hella plug connected to a dual battery.
From my hunting around I believe the hella plug to be a better connection =is that true?
I know you can take the red knob of the plug and use it in a hella plug but when I do this I find that it is loose and not a good fit.
I have an extra lead for the fridge and am going to replace the plug with a hella plug which fits better. Doing this will free up the cigarette plug for other things.
I note the standard Waeco cigarette plug has a fuse in it but the hella doesn't.
My question = is it worth converting to a hella plug - are they worth it??
Thanks in advance,
Richard.
Richard

Hi, i have mounted Hella plugs ( mounted directly from the battery & fused through out the Paj as the lighter plugs are unreliable and come loose, I made up a short lead and fitted a good quality lighter plug on one end and Hella to the other, then I cleaned thoroughly and connected the fridge lead and taped it securely ,
That way if I need to use the fridge in a standard car or have trouble I can always revert back to the lighter socket.
Has been like that since 95 and no probs.
Cheers Des.
