12 Volt Extension lead

Why choose Home of 12 Volt Online for your Accessory options? 

What is the use of a Accessory socket or plug? 

Independent power is a luxury that many of us like to enjoy when away from mains power. This power is usually generated from the use of a battery set up. But how do we harness the power from the battery to provide an easy outlet for us to connect our accessories such as our fridge, lighting, air compressors and more? 

It's simple really, we look to install 12 volt accessory sockets. These plug / sockets will connect to a power feed back to the battery and will allow you the option to run those much loved devices! 

But what if our current socket does not fit our appliance we are using? 

No problem!

What is an Extension lead? 

What do you do if you are running an appliance but the initial lead is too short to reach your 12 Volt connection? No problem, the simple answer is to use a 12 Volt Extension lead. 

12 Volt Extension leads are available in all types of connections such as cigarette, Merit and Anderson connectors. Home of 12 Volt Online offer a variety of lengths and also provide options to upgraded cable gauge to minimize voltage drop for those longer 12 volt power lines! 

There are so many designs, how I do know what to choose? 

When choosing an Accessory connection, it is important to look at what you are running from the battery. Every individual socket will have a differing amperage rating (how much power the socket can handle) in order to run appliances. 

The most common socket on the market today is still the Cigarette socket. This socket is common among 12 v fridges, 12 Volt lighting, 12 Volt TV's and other lower draw appliances. 

On the other hand, the higher draw appliances are better suited to an Anderson connector. The most common Anderson connector used in vehicle / camping installations are 50 Amp Anderson connectors. These are common connections for fridges, Inverters, air compressors and other heavier draw appliances.
