barrel connector to connect Jackery input to ARB threaded socket

[JpLfe]

I have wired the ARB wiring kit from my AUX battery in my engine bay (I have the genesis dual setup) up to the ARB threaded socket that came with the wiring kit in the cargo area. This ARB socket plug has the threaded socket which works fine when I plug in my ARB fridge 12v input by unscrewing the barrel connector so that I just use the 2 prong plug into the ARB socket.
But lately, I have been wanting to plug in my Jackery 1000 12v input into that socket instead so that I can run my fridge off of my Jackery instead of the aux battery in my engine bay. This of course doesn't work since the barrel connector of the Jackery is not threaded and am not able to unscrew that to plug into the ARB socket.

Any tips on how I can solve this ?

I just just use this ARB adaptor to plug into my Jackery 1000. I run the jackery off the jeeps 12V and then plug the arb into the jackery....pretty unlimited fridge power this way.

I’m taking about the input into the Jackery , not the output.. That ARB threaded connector can only fit the output socket of the jackery. Makes sense ?

ah got it...I just plug my Jackery input into my 12V port in the back.

Yes, you can but that OEM 12v port is a super small gauge wire that carries very low amps and inefficient in charging a fridge or a jackery

I have been doing it for a long time and never had an issue. I charge my jackery and plug my arb into the jackery..maybe I have been lucky but did that on my my JK's, power wagon and my JLUR. my Jackery stays at 100% well driving around and when I pull over for any amount of time I unplug it.

you could cut the 12V plug off and put on the ARB end. they are spendy tho. I have actually looked just for the mail end by itself.

Seems like you'd need to cut the male ARB connector from the ARB cord (or buy another cord to harvest the connector), and crimp it to a male 5.5mm x 2.1mm pigtail.
