Thread: Anderson plug to 12S plug.

If you dont use the 12S socket just cut it off and make a plate to mount an anderson, i connected mine to the 30a circuit.

Exactly what I did too. Chopped it off and I put in a bulkhead Anderson mount in place of it.

Just a note that you can buy all these adapters made up to any spec at good prices through Disco3 for those less handy.

This is permanent supply to ignition switch option.

Thanks for all the ideas about what else to do, but I have all the bits I need!
I just want to confirm, pin 4 is positive and pin 3 is earth.

With the car off and asleep, stick a meter on it. If you get 12V then it’s correct.

That should be correct - but always test to confirm. Tombie posted this once before:



Just ordered two 12S plugs myself and will also be making a few different adaptors.

I can plug a small solar panel in at the rear at home and help keep the battery charged
I have the 12S plug, a 15 amp fuse and the Anderson plug, but thought I'd check the pins to use!
I figure pin 4 on the 12S is positive, and pin 3 on the 12s is negative.
Is that a positive? :<))

What size solar panel are you using?

The one I'll be plugging in via the 12S is 100W mounted on the roof of the carport.
