Typical 12 volt sockets are rate at 16-20 amps Many 12v compressors are fused at 30-40 amps so do not really suitable for 12v sockets.

Small Anderson connectors are rated at 50 amps, standard one are rated at 175 amps. These are continuous rated but can carry much higher currents for short periods of time.

They can be located on the front of the battery box like this.



Doing it this way it is important to ensure cables going into the battery box is well grometted!

Alternative is for Anderson connector to poke out of battery box like this

If you use 175 amp Anderson connectors apart from compressor you can use jump leads, 12volt drills etc.

2012 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 DCPU Santorini Black
I've just ordered some along with other bits from Tim
I'm going to mount mine on the seat box front pointing up (must remember to put cover on) so I can plug in with the door shut and pass leads out window because when I've tried to jump start things using my traffic van which has a passenger footwell positioned battery I can't get close enought to cars with the door open sometimes
Think I'm going to run cables in some 25mm conduit into rubber shroud then into plug
But just a thought remember to put spacers between box and plug if you've got carpet as when you tighten plug back it will sink into carpet and might stop the trailing end fitting It's good to be back from the dark side

When less is more

We tend to advocate the use of bus bars which makes the joing of multiple large cables easier and neater.

I have some pictures if anyone wants to see them.

Someone with slight OCD issues must have spent way to long doing all of that install.... Wink


Apart from appearance, if everything is neatly laid out it makes life much easier if you ever need to do any fault finding, or adding additional circuits components.... and it looks a lot more professional.
