Baintech BTDCS-001 Double Ciga Socket Lead with 50 Amp Anderson Plug - Dual 15A Cigarette Lighter Adapter for Portable Fridges and 12V Accessories
Professional dual cigarette lighter socket adapter with 50 amp Anderson plug specifically designed to convert high-powered Anderson connector into two independent 15 amp cigarette lighter sockets enabling simultaneous operation of portable fridges, cooking utilities, and other 12V accessories in 4WD, caravan, camping, and marine applications. Features high-current 16-gauge copper cable construction with each socket utilizing 290mm cable length engineered to reduce voltage drop and ensure safe reliable power delivery supporting maximum combined current of 30 amps (2x15A) appropriate for moderate-draw 12V equipment. The Anderson plug interface provides convenient connection to auxiliary battery systems, solar setups, or vehicle electrical distribution utilizing Anderson connectivity standard enabling modular power distribution without permanent wiring modifications. Dual socket configuration eliminates need for multiple separate power cables or daisy-chaining cigarette lighter adapters, providing clean organized power distribution solution for camping setups where portable refrigerator and additional accessories require simultaneous operation from single Anderson power source. Perfect for 4WD touring, caravan camping, camper trailer setups, and marine applications where Anderson-equipped auxiliary power systems need convenient cigarette lighter socket access for portable refrigerators, 12V cooking appliances, lighting, air compressors, and other moderate-draw accessories requiring standard cigarette lighter plug connectivity.
Product Overview
The Baintech BTDCS-001 addresses practical power distribution requirements for users with Anderson-equipped 12V systems who need convenient cigarette lighter socket access for portable appliances and accessories without permanent wiring installation. Anderson plugs represent industry-standard high-current connectors widely adopted in auxiliary power systems, while cigarette lighter sockets remain common power interface for portable 12V equipment including refrigerators, coolers, air compressors, and camping accessories. This adapter bridges the gap between Anderson auxiliary power distribution and cigarette lighter accessory connectivity, enabling users to power standard 12V accessories from Anderson-equipped battery systems, solar setups, or vehicle auxiliary circuits. The dual socket configuration provides simultaneous operation capability for two devices (such as portable fridge and lighting) from single Anderson connection, with each socket independently rated for 15 amps maximum supporting typical portable refrigerator current draw (3-5 amps) plus additional accessory use. The 16-gauge copper cable construction ensures adequate current carrying capacity with minimal voltage drop, while 290mm cable length per socket provides practical spacing between devices reducing cable clutter and enabling flexible equipment positioning within camping setup or vehicle cargo area.
50 Amp Anderson Plug Interface – High-current Anderson connector enables direct connection to auxiliary battery systems, solar charge controller outputs, or vehicle Anderson-equipped auxiliary circuits providing modular power distribution without permanent wiring modifications.
Dual 15A Cigarette Lighter Sockets – Two independent cigarette lighter sockets each rated for 15 amps maximum enable simultaneous operation of portable fridges, cooking utilities, lighting, and other 12V accessories from single Anderson power source.
16-Gauge High-Current Copper Cable – Quality 16-gauge copper cable construction ensures adequate current carrying capacity with minimal voltage drop maintaining efficient power delivery and reducing heat generation during operation.
290mm Cable Length Per Socket – Each socket features 290mm (approximately 11.5 inches) cable length providing practical device spacing reducing cable clutter and enabling flexible equipment positioning within camping or vehicle setup.
Voltage Drop Reduction Design – Heavy-gauge cable construction minimizes voltage drop between Anderson connection and powered devices ensuring appliances receive proper operating voltage maintaining performance and efficiency particularly important for voltage-sensitive equipment like portable refrigerators.
Combined 30A Current Capacity – Dual 15 amp sockets support maximum combined current of 30 amps appropriate for moderate-draw 12V equipment, though users should ensure total connected load does not exceed Anderson plug and cable ratings maintaining safe operation.
4WD and Caravan Application Versatility – Perfect for mobile applications where Anderson-equipped auxiliary power systems require convenient cigarette lighter socket access for portable equipment including 4WD touring, caravan camping, camper trailers, and marine vessels.
Baintech Quality and Reliability – Manufactured by Bainbridge Technologies, Australia's leading power product experts with over 30 years experience in DC power solutions ensuring quality construction and reliable performance appropriate for demanding outdoor and mobile applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I power two portable fridges simultaneously using both sockets?
A: Yes, you can power two portable fridges simultaneously provided their combined current draw does not exceed safe limits. Typical portable fridges draw 3-5 amps each, so two fridges would draw approximately 6-10 amps combined, well within the 30 amp combined capacity. However, consider startup surge current when compressors engage, and ensure your Anderson power source (battery, solar system) can support the combined continuous load plus any startup surges.
Q: What is the maximum total power I can draw from both sockets combined?
A: While each socket individually rated for 15 amps (approximately 180 watts at 12V), the total combined draw from both sockets should not exceed the Anderson plug and cable ratings. The 50 amp Anderson plug can theoretically support high current, but consider the 16-gauge cable capacity and heat generation. For continuous use, keeping combined load below 20-25 amps recommended for safety and longevity, though brief higher loads within ratings acceptable.
Q: Will this adapter work with my existing Anderson auxiliary battery setup?
A: Yes, this adapter designed to connect directly to standard 50 amp Anderson plugs commonly used in auxiliary battery systems, solar setups, and vehicle auxiliary circuits. Simply plug the Anderson connector into your existing Anderson-equipped power source to gain two cigarette lighter socket access points. Ensure your power source can support your intended accessory loads and that proper circuit protection (fuses or breakers) exists in your auxiliary system.
Q: Can I use this with solar panels or only with batteries?
A: This adapter can connect to any 12V power source with 50 amp Anderson plug output, including solar charge controller Anderson outputs, direct battery connections with Anderson terminals, or vehicle auxiliary circuits with Anderson connectivity. For solar applications, ensure charge controller output voltage matches 12V system requirements and that solar charging capacity supports your accessory power consumption needs.
Q: Is circuit protection included, or do I need to add fuses?
A: This product specification does not explicitly state whether individual socket fuses are included. For electrical safety, your Anderson power source should have appropriate circuit protection (fuse or breaker) protecting the entire circuit. Additionally, many 12V accessories include their own inline fuses in their cigarette lighter plugs. For optimal protection, ensure proper circuit protection exists at power source level, and consider whether individual socket fusing would benefit your specific application for added protection.
