12V Extension Cords

Reach the back seat or trunk with extra 12V cigarette lighter cable

A 12V extension cord stretches your cigarette lighter socket's reach so you can power coolers, chargers, or air pumps from the back seat or cargo area. They use the standard round plug and socket, making them an easy fit for most accessories.

We collect top-rated 12V extension cords on Amazon in different lengths and amp ratings. Match the cord's amperage to your device's draw and pick a length that reaches your destination without leaving slack that could get pinched in a door.

FAQ

Will an extension cord lower my device's power?
Longer or thinner cords add some resistance. For high-draw devices, choose a heavier gauge cord rated for the amperage you need.
Do these fit all 12V sockets?
Most use the standard round automotive plug that fits common cigarette lighter sockets. Check your socket size if your vehicle uses a different style.
Can I use it for an air compressor?
Yes, if the cord's amp rating meets or exceeds the compressor's draw. Undersized cords can overheat under heavy loads.
