Common Questions
What solar kits is this cable compatible with?
This cable is specifically designed for use with 40W-100W Photonic Universe folding solar charging kits. It features a 50A battery plug that is compatible with standard 50A Anderson-style connectors found on these kits.
Can I use this cable for larger solar panels?
While the 50A plug is robust, this cable's 2.5mm² wire cross-section and 0.5m length are optimised for 40W-100W solar panels. For panels significantly larger than 100W, a cable with a greater wire cross-section may be required to prevent voltage drop and ensure safe operation.
Is this cable suitable for permanent installations?
This cable is primarily designed for portable and temporary connections, such as those found in folding solar kits for camping, caravanning, or marine use. For permanent installations, dedicated wiring solutions and appropriate fusing are typically recommended.
What type of battery can I connect with the crocodile clips?
The robust crocodile clips are suitable for direct connection to the terminals of most 12V leisure batteries, deep cycle batteries, and automotive batteries, providing a flexible and secure attachment.
Installation Notes
- Ensure all connections are clean and secure before use to maximise efficiency and safety.
- Connect the crocodile clips to the correct battery terminals (red to positive, black to negative).
- Verify the 50A battery plug is fully inserted into the corresponding socket on your solar kit.
- Keep cables clear of moving parts, sharp edges, and excessive heat sources.
Before You Buy
- Confirm your folding solar kit requires a 50A Anderson-style compatible plug.
- Check the power rating of your solar panel to ensure it falls within the 40W-100W range for optimal performance with this cable.
- Measure the distance between your solar panel and battery to ensure the 0.5m cable length is sufficient.
- Consider any additional cabling or adapters required for your specific setup.
Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing equipment before purchase. Consult a qualified electrician for complex installations.
