Good enclosed cig lighter socket?
Like this one, only good: To attach to Li battery powering my car fridge. $2 thingy from Aliexpress works, but loses contact in the night when temps drop to 50s. Don't want to buy and solder Ander...

Not unusual for cig lighter plugs to back out all by themselves.
For mission critical devices like a fridge, add some wire ties to the mix. Cheap, easy and reversible. If you dig around you can even find reusable wire ties, they have a way to release the tie without the need to cut them off.
I think you're onto something with wire ties. The way the male plug is made, spring at the tip is pushing it out. Takes very little - less than 1/8" pullback - to lose contact. Will zip-tie it and order Anderson connectors.
