12 volt extension cable (1 Viewer)

[grumfy]

I am looking for a 12 volt plug into cigarette socket type extension cable. I don't need anything complicated and it only needs to be 2m long but I do want it to be of decent quality. The one I have is the curly lead type but the connections are poorly made and the lead is not up to much either. So I am asking suggestions please

I’ve just bought a 6m one off Amazon for £8.99. It’s a Hama brand and I was concerned about quality but this feels very well made.
I need it to reach the tyre compressor.

You could make your own with a plug socket and wire. Wouldn't cost much and you can then be sure of the quality

I made a 5m one for the coolbox. I used 1.5mm cable I split from a 5 core flex.
Look for an in-line socket on ebay

I did that when we had the RV.
The compressor slowed to a chug.... Chug..... Chug.... due to volt drop under load.
Compressor was rated at 15amps

Thanks for the ideas, I see some are fused at 15 amps and then say maximum is 60 watts? I thought volts times amps = watts .

60 watts is 5 amps. What is the wattage of the pump? Could be the 15 amps is to allow for surge start-up amperages.

Most of the cigar lighter type sockets and the ones used on extension leads are of poor quality. It would be better to extend the existing lead.

Bought this pump off Amazon after having the less durable normal car pumps fail on me. The pump is brilliant and very quickly inflates my tyrs. Had a slow puncture in a rear tyre used the pump to get me to a garage for a replacement tyre. (nail in tread too close to sidewall. I use my jump leads directly from the battery to extend to the rear wheels. pump requires 25A supply (it is protected by a 25A fuse in the supplied connector)
