DC DC Converter for OUTPUT from LIFEPO battery

[Mark2457]

Maybe just go with the standard 12V cigarette style outlet? There are plenty of devices/adapters that can be found on amazon that use this connection for the various USB types. The cig style has remained constant for years so it's a good choice, imo.

Was hoping for something better. Powerwerx had some. A little pricey and would have to do multiple circular faceplates, but they’d work if I don’t find anything better

I’m probably doing a rear seat delete and putting battery, converter and some
Outlets in the cab and then running some 12v to back next to drawers and I want to have usb, cig and power pole there too

Standard ciggie sockets are IMO a dangerous abortion, avoid like the plague for anything important, or that you use regularly. Never more than 5-6A and only for short periods, as in a few minutes. Even then they are risky, an inherently poor design!

Blue Sea has a nice socket design that twist-locks with the matching plug, but will also accept standard ciggie plugs for smaller (
Also the BMW/ Hella/ Merit/ Powerlet "Euro-style DIN" (ISO 4165) style is very robust.

Anderson plugs for high amps, for me my standard, for almost all power connections.

If you standardize on one of the last two types, there are adapters for guests, temporary use of devices with standard ciggie plugs.
