This is why I prototype my projects.
I've slowly been reading and learning and collecting gear for my solar projects. Project #1 is now complete except for an extra cable run for setting the panel outside away from my rig. Wasted 1/2 a dozen MC4 connectors but it works now.
40watt poly crystalime panel to cheap Chinese CC to a 40Ah AGM. This is a backup emergency power for my CPAP. with this panel and CC I can also charge my starters, and have a portable charger for 18v power tools.
The painful life lessons. Building MC4 connectors while dislexc is a nighrmare! But it,s done. Turns out the little metal tubes are NOT interchangable. argh! I wasted everal tak8ng them apart and lost a few inches of wire making extra stripped ends.
MC4 connectors all the way and inline fuses in and out of the charger. 10 AWG everything.currently pulling 13.4 volts.
