Very nice, however don’t you need a fuse? I’m sure there was a fuse inside the cig plug.
yes sir ,however I fuse my outlets and my bad for not pointing this out .thanks for watching 👍🍻
You can also undo cig plug screw and see the positive connection on the center pole, unscrew that and mark as positive. Preserves more cable too.
Thumbs up video though. 👍
Cheers mate thanks for watching 👍🍻
you have just lost the fuse which is inside the cig plug, plus its a lot easier to unscrew the cig lighter plug and see which wire is connected to pos and neg.......
Good way of finding the Pos or Neg cable if you don't have the other indicators. The inline fuse to protect the device is in the tip of the cigarette plug so you would probably need to add a new fuse in line before the Anderson connector if it is going straight to a battery box.
great tip as I forgot to mention the fuse . in my situation I plug this onto a fused outlet . thanks for watching 👍🍻
@@EFFICIENTSELF Yes, all fine if going into a fused outlet with the same rating as what is needed by the device. 🙂
Recommend fuse size please?
@@kel1664 My understanding is that the cigarette socket is normally rated around 7.5 to 10Amps, depending on thickness of wiring. So some use a 7.5A fuse, others 10A and some even 15A. It depends on the device itself. Check the fuse in the nose of the cigarette plug of the existing device cable and that will tell you what is needed for that specific device if you use an alternate fuse and plug.
The original end on that cable comes apart with one screw, making it dead simple to see that the ribbed cable is negative...which is a standard across the industry. Good idea swapping out the unreliable accessory plug for an Anderson. XT-60 is a good option too, if you happen to use those.
cheers mate thanks for watching 👍🍻
They are useless. Constantly popping out. I swap out all my cigarette lighters
Awesome.yes the Anderson type plugs are much better . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Another way to check is just use your multimeter arcross both leads if its the red lead is in the negative line it will display -12.00v or if the positive is on the red lead it will show 12.00v
cheers mate . thanks for the tip and thanks for watching 👍🍻
the wire may have no obvious marks but if you look closely there's a rib on the outside of one. That said, you can check the entire cable for hot and ground, then make a note of which is which, BEFORE CUTTING ANYTHING. This particular cable also has printing on one lead so you can follow that too. Not sure why you are having problems with the old style lighter plug. Might just be a particular make.
Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Do you know why the multi mitre has pointed ends ? Do you don’t have to cut wire drongo
So are you saying I can cut wire with the multi mitre pointed ends?😂 hmm
Yes another useful no thrills video. I have done exactly what you have done with air compressors and fridges the only thing I do different is fit an Anderson plug to the to the original connection ie the cig connection or alligator clips. You can then use these when you need to connect to power when Anderson only connection is not available.
Cheers fred Thanks for sharing hope you been well mate and thanks for watching 👍🍻
Ansel plug is stronger
Cheers yes thanks for watching 👍🍻
Great tip mate, faced this exact problem recently and didn't plan ahead ended up taking it to my auto elec to confirm which was which.
Cheers mate we live and learn and have done the same thing myself in the past . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Good work mate. I need to learn how to use a multimeter.
Cheers buck keep up the great work mate . Love ya live feeds you seem to have them while im at work 🤣 thanks for watching 👍🍻
Oh my gosh thank you so much I'm going to do this to my portable fridge freezer
Cheers thanks for watching 👍🍻
I really wish Anderson connectors were standard on vehicles instead of cigarette lighters.
Cheers thanks for watching 👍🍻
Hi, is the soldering part very important? I am looking for a method to do this without soldering as I don't have that equipment at the moment
You can just crimp if you like . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
*Promosm* 🤔
Can you review about that pool from 3 years ago and what happened to it?
The metal poles end up rusting out after about a year as i left it setup full time.. those pools are just for seasonal use . Dont have the pool unfortunately. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Great job Dino, well put mate. Seeya Rob
Cheers rob hope you been well 👍🍻
Perfect, thanks mate. Really helped
Cheers mate thanks for watching 👍🍻
Just how old is that wire stripper?
just guessing 20 year old
Useful upload Dino. Can’t tell you how many times I have seen a post on Facebook someone asking which is positive
egative.
I was super lucky when I purchased a spare cable from Jaycar for my Engel as within the cig plug itself the positive had a fuse so I didn’t need a multi meter.
I’ll be sure to share this vid next time I see someone ask
Hope your weekend is going great mate
Cheers Jason
