I am looking online for a part to replace the vehicle cigarette socket with an anderson plug. Does someone have a link to where I can get this?

All my searching finds is adapters. I want to swap the cigarette plug out, as that is the connection that won't stay connected when I am banging down the washboards.

cigarette lighters are setup for a pretty light load, what are you connecting, you might be better off running cables from the battery
Topping off batteries - a jackery and a bluetti. The 2400 WH Bluetti needs 16 volts input, so I got a socket put in specifically with heavier gauge wire and a 15 amp fuse, then use an inverter. It is not as simple as the Jackery, but it gets it done till the damn plugs rattle out of connection. I wanted to be able to sit still for 3 or 4 days running the fridge and a cpap and topping off phone etc. while I do some hiking. I do have 2 Jackery solar panels, but I need to make some plugs so they can feed the Bluetti. What I like is I can move them into a tent, or into the house and they can run anything 110 within limits. I have 280 AH of battery I can move easily, and I can easily charge them up from 110, as well.
