   DC fridge power connector

   I think the power connector on my Alpicool is an IEC C11. Other brands such   
   as ARB appear to use the same notched rectangular plug.   
      
   The voltmeter on my T60 showed 0.3-0.4V less than the power supply I used to   
   confirm its low voltage shutoff, then after it shut down the voltage rose to   
   match the supply so the IR drop was in the cord and connectors. I couldn't   
   find a separate C11 to wire but 3/16" brass tubing squeezed to 0.080" (2mm)   
   made good substitute sockets on a 12AWG cord with Anderson PP45s on the   
   other end. PP45s are the common 12V connector for amateur radio and   
   excellent for battery wiring because all unplugged connectors have shielded   
   pins.
