Useful Car Accessory to keep in the ca
Very useful for extending a 12V Tyre Inflator when the only Cigarette Lighter socket in the car is in the boot!!! Lead on inflator isn’t long enough to get to the front nearside wheel!
The extension lead was bought to make using the tyre inflator easier which it did well until the tyre inflator broke and I had to get a new one. The new one (a Ring RTC1000) must have been more powerful and the extension lead never worked with it, shame.
I love the question “What should customers know?”
What customers should know, before submitting reviews, is how electricity works!
This is a great piece of kit. The wiring is sound and the cable is good quality- It’s copper. Did you know there are Chinese imports with copper-coated steel wires?
Always worth checking.
Now the electrician part:
Some customers have burnt these out- usually with photos of melted plugs.
If you burn these out, it’s because you’ve over-loaded them.
I ran them through a testing program.
10A is a maximum. TBH, if you’re pulling anything above 6A you’ve bought the wrong piece of kit.
You will lose 1A of current for every 10 meters of cable. It’s precisely why you should not use extension cables for things like lawnmowers and power tools. You will burn the cables out.
And possibly burn your house down! Even if you have MCB’s fitted they won’t trip. You aren’t over-loading the circuit- you are under-loading it.
So let’s apply that to this product.
1 amp loss per 10 meters = 0.1A per meter. These are 4 meters long, so allowing for the plug wiring, you will lose about 0.5A.
Doesn’t sound like much?
If you charge the phone at 5 amps and it takes one hour, using a 4 meter extension will mean another 6 minutes per hour.
And bear in mind, many phones won’t charge at all if the amp supply is less than 2.5-3Ah.
So be realistic- can you ACTUALLY charge the phone with any cable longer than 2 meters?
Apple have deliberately designed the phones to only draw 2.5 Ah if you don’t use an Apple charger, so again be realistic. Can you charge your phone with 4 meters of cable?
Use it in a campervan to run 12 volt power supply to different positions in the van. Sturdy lead and good quality with no issues so far. Well priced and far better than the flimsy easily damaged ones that I’ve had before.
Producto de Calidad! Cable y conectores
El cable, es un cable de calidad con doble aislamiento (2 conductores aislados dentro de una manguera) cosa poco habitual en los tpicos cables paralelos, lleva un led para indicar si hay tensin en la toma. El precio, es correcto por la calidad que ofrece. Muy contento, la verdad!
