FAQs
What type of cooler does this lead fit?
This lead is designed for electric cooler boxes that use a polarized 2-pin connector for power input and require a 12V DC source.
How long is the cable?
The cable is 5 meters (approximately 16.4 feet) in length.
Can I use this lead with a 24V power source?
No, this lead is designed exclusively for 12V DC power sources. Using it with a higher voltage may damage the cooler or the lead.
What does 'polarized 2-pin plug' mean?
Polarized means the plug has a specific orientation for correct connection. The two pins are shaped or positioned so the plug can only be inserted one way, ensuring correct polarity and preventing damage to the device.
Is this lead suitable for mains power (240V)?
No, this lead is strictly for 12V DC power sources, such as a car's cigar lighter socket. It cannot be used with mains household electricity.
How do I clean the plug and connector?
You can clean the plug and connector with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before connecting to any power source.
What if my cooler has a different type of plug?
If your cooler has a different plug type (e.g., a universal type, 3-pin, or a non-polarized plug), this specific lead may not be compatible. Please check your cooler's original power lead or manual for correct specifications.
Troubleshooting
Cooler is not receiving power.
Ensure the 12V cigar lighter plug is fully inserted into the vehicle's socket. Check that the vehicle's 12V accessory socket is functioning by testing it with another device. Verify the 2-pin connector is securely attached to the cooler. Confirm your cooler is compatible with this 12V DC polarized plug.
Intermittent power supply.
Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the connections at both the vehicle socket and the cooler are clean and secure. Jiggling the plug slightly may indicate a loose connection within the vehicle's socket or the lead itself.
Plug does not fit the vehicle's 12V socket.
Vehicle 12V sockets can vary slightly in size. This plug is designed for standard cigar lighter sockets. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the socket or the plug.
