FAQs

What is the length of the Mercury Cooler Box Lead?

The lead is 2 meters long.

What type of plug does this lead use?

It features an unfused cigar lighter plug on one end and a polarized 2-pin 12V DC plug on the other.

What is the amperage rating of the lead?

The lead is rated at 5 Amps.

Is this lead suitable for all types of cooler boxes?

No, it is specifically designed for 12V DC cooler boxes. Make sure your cooler box is compatible before use.

How do I clean the plugs?

Clean the plugs with a dry cloth if they become dirty to ensure a good electrical connection.

What should I do if the cooler box is not working?

Check the connections at both ends of the lead, and ensure the 12V outlet in your vehicle is working. The fuse associated with the outlet in the vehicle's fuse box may need to be checked.

Can I use this lead in a different country?

Yes, as long as your vehicle has a standard 12V DC outlet, this lead can be used. However, ensure that the cooler box is compatible with the voltage.

Where can I store the lead when not in use?

Store the lead in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Cooler box not turning on.

Check the connection at both ends of the lead. Ensure the cigar lighter plug is securely inserted into the 12V outlet and the 2-pin plug is correctly inserted into the cooler box. Check the fuse in your car's fuse box that corresponds to the 12V outlet; it may need to be replaced.

Cooler box not cooling effectively.

Ensure the cooler box is not overloaded with items. Check the ventilation of the cooler box to make sure the airflow is not blocked. Confirm the lead is making a good connection and supplying the necessary power.

Lead is getting hot.

This could indicate that the cooler box is drawing too much power or there is a problem with the connection. Disconnect the lead and check for any damage. Check your cooler box's power draw against the lead's rating. If the issue persists, the cooler box may need servicing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a reliable power connection for 12V DC cooler boxes.
  • The 2-meter length offers flexibility in placement.
  • Easy to install with standard plug connections.
  • Rated to handle the power demands of most cooler boxes.
  • A direct replacement, ensuring compatibility with Mercury cooler boxes and others with matching specifications.

Cons

  • Compatibility is limited to 12V DC cooler boxes only.
  • Requires a 12V DC power source (e.g., car's cigarette lighter).
  • The unfused design means it does not have built-in overcurrent protection.
  • May not be suitable for cooler boxes with higher power requirements exceeding 5 Amps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Plug the cigar lighter plug into a 12V DC power outlet (cigarette lighter socket) in your vehicle. Then, connect the polarized 2-pin 12V DC plug into the corresponding port on your cooler box.
  2. Compatibility: Ensure your cooler box is compatible with a 12V DC power source and has a 2-pin connector that matches the lead's plug. Check the cooler box's specifications to confirm that it does not exceed the lead's 5 Amp rating.
  3. Care: Avoid bending or crimping the cable sharply, as this can damage the internal wiring. When not in use, store the lead in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Clean the plugs with a dry cloth if they become dirty to ensure a good electrical connection.
