Hi folks ...
As you will soon see, I am no auto electrician.
I have a 2 pin marine fitting professionally installed to run my Engel car fridge, which works well. It is connected to my second battery in my 80 Series Landcruiser. I would now like to fit a 12v plug next to it. This is a job I can handle, but I have no idea on wiring things in parallel or series (whatever that may mean).
Can I position the 12v plug next to the marine plug and just run my wire "postive to postive and negative to negative" from the marine plug. I will be using it to power my laptop and possibly recharging my battery powered spotlight. It is a convenience thing.
Many thanks ... especially as an auto electrician wanted $90 to do this, and I have the wire and the plug!
Safe travels
