If you have a dual battery system installed in your vehicle, or if you are towing a caravan or camper trailer, you may need an Anderson plug. In short, an Anderson plug is a special power connector used to connect high current circuit devices. The Anderson plug allows the vehicle battery or alternator to be connected to the auxiliary battery in the trailer or caravan to charge the auxiliary battery while the vehicle is driving to its destination. The Anderson connector also allows the vehicle battery to power the electronic stability control system in a trailer or trailer, and can be used as a 12-volt power replacement for the cigarette lighter socket. At campgrounds, the Anderson plug allows the solar panel to connect to and charge the battery.

1. Charging circuit

Anderson style plugs are specifically designed to handle high, continuous loads, making them ideal for use in charging circuits. The most common use for an Anderson type plug is to charge auxiliary batteries in a caravan or camper trailer while driving, which avoids the unnecessary noise and cost of having to run the vehicle's engine to charge auxiliary equipment while the campground is stationary.

Anderson style connectors are installed at the rear of the vehicle. Too much current charging through the 12-pin plug can cause the pins to melt because their pin diameters are not large enough to handle the current of most modern alternators. And the Anderson plug means you can safely deliver more power to your RV's battery charging system, keeping your RV battery charged as you head to your next destination.

2. Powering the ESC (Electronic Stability Control)

Today's camper trailers and caravans are equipped with electronic stability control systems. If the trailer needs to power the ESC (Electronic Stability Control), you can install another SB connector on your tow-bar. The system can be powered via the 12-pin plug while driving, but the Anderson plug provides a better connection, and its safety-lock design virtually eliminates all risk of loose connection cables. It is more secure to connect while driving and easy to disconnect when off-road. A common practice is to use a red Anderson plug on the ESC and a gray plug on the rear of the car for the charging feed, so you can easily identify them.

3. 12 Volt Auxiliary Power Alternative

Thanks to its secure locking design, the Anderson plug is also a great alternative to powering 12-volt accessories for high-powered appliances like refrigerators and air compressors. Anderson plugs are stronger than standard 12-volt cigarette lighter sockets for a more secure connection.

4. Solar panel connection

Another common use for Anderson plugs is to connect to a solar panel via a regulator to charge a battery. We often mount them on 4WDs and caravans with dual battery systems, in an easy-to-use location, so they can easily charge the auxiliary battery from the solar panel without having to drive your vehicle. A single auxiliary battery can power a camping refrigerator and a few gadgets for about two days. Charging the auxiliary equipment can require running the vehicle engine for a full day. The annoying noise and gas costs in the process are what solar panels are so popular in auxiliary battery charging. The main reason for welcome.
