5 Metre Anderson extension lead, heavy duty

Need more reach? This 5 m lead has a moulded Anderson-style plug on each end, so it plugs straight between your battery and your fridge, solar panel or accessory. It’s our heavy-duty lead: thick 8mm cable carries up to 50A and keeps voltage drop down over the full length, so it suits solar panels, DC-DC chargers and high-draw gear.

Why cable size matters

Every metre of cable loses some voltage, and thin cable loses more. Run a fridge through a long, thin lead and the voltage at the fridge can drop low enough to trip its low-voltage cut-out, or cut the charge your solar panel delivers. Heavier cable keeps the voltage up at the far end, which matters most on longer leads.

Built to last

• ✓Moulded Anderson-style plugs: both plugs are moulded onto the cable with a strain-relief boot, so there are no exposed joins to work loose, crack or let in dust and water
• ✓Heavy 8mm (8 B&S) cable: rated for 50A, for solar, DC-DC chargers and high-draw gear
• ✓Pure copper, UV-stable sheath: pure copper conductors (not copper-clad aluminium) inside an outer sheath that stands up to the Australian sun
• ✓Plated Anderson contacts: for a low-resistance connection that resists corrosion
• ✓Genderless SB50 connectors: any two grey 50A Anderson plugs join together, and they lock so they won’t vibrate apart on the road
