Widowmakers from your favourite online sellers

Another stunning demonstration of how unregulated online marketplaces have completely destroyed the safety regulations over the past decade.

These connectors are sold as accessories for making up your own custom extension cables for things like electric scooters. They carry a huge risk of a connection mixup making metalwork live or causing dangerous damage to the charging circuitry of a lithium battery pack.

If you want to see these out of morbid curiosity then search keywords like IEC C13 5.5mm should find random listings on various platforms. Don't buy them though, unless you want a scary exhibit for safety education.

For those asking about the meter, it's an Aneng 623 automotive meter.
