Thanks. This gives me something to work with. I will attach a battery and see if panels charge it. Then check out some of the brands you mentioned. I do have a larger system I am putting together for a cabin.. I bought this GZ years ago and it died for non use. I just hope to recoup something...

Just a follow up thank you. Learning this I charged phone from both panels. Now will see if there is any hope for the Escape power center battery.I replaced the battery last year and kept it plugged in. But I unplugged and let it sit about a month and it died again. There was some kind of temo...

Thanks I will check out a local source. Delivery on these is Oct 2 to Dec.2. I have a volt meter but not digital read out so I don't get a precise reading..

I have a good little DC fridge that takes only minimal amps. I plan to have a DC fan, some recessed lights, and outlets for charging phone, ipad and hot spot. I am cooking and heating with propane. If I could run a c I plan to have a DC fan, 6 recorde

I posted that before I was finished. A coffee pot would be nice but I am ok with hot water drip system I use while camping. > I have a DC fridge that takes only a few amps. And will need to use computer. That is about it. I do not need AC in Montana. I am wondering if you could answer another...

Here is my system. I am waiting for the 1000w MPPT inverter to come but this is my temp hook up. Do you see any glaring errors? Panels and inverter are hooked up to one battery and two batteries are wired together. Charge controller reads 13.2 volts of charge, 1.5 incoming amps, (11:30 am)...

Have four Rich Solar panels plugged together plus to plus neg to neg. Where do I get wires to connect to controller?

I am doing just the same thing. How is your project going. I have 2 Valence lithium batteries and just ordered the all in one 1000 watt inverter / controller. I like the tidiness of it. I am also wiring for grid but don't expect to get that connected. I am going to put in the panel and a manual...

Thank you. Yes, I see. A fuse a fuse would be needed. Thanks for keeping me safe!

I have a Goal zero Nomad with small Boulder and smaller Nomad panel. The connectors are proprietary. The battery is gone. Anyway yo get use out of the panels? Goal Zero offered no help.

I am novice grandma DIYer. I would like my solar system to be tidy, mostly out of sight and safe. Can I put my 2 Valence Lithium 12v batteries in bottom of manufactured wood cabinet? I will wire my tiny cabin to an AC panel and add a transfer switch which will always be on. (Reliance 6 circuit...

I want to order 12" cables to hook 2 Valence batteries together. When I went to my local Ace Hardware to figure out if I needed 3/8 or 5/16 lugs I was told the posts were metric M6x1. When I measured the posts with tape measure it looked really close to 3/8". Do the lugs have to fit perfectly? I...

OK will try that.

How to measure? I left it in sun for two days and plugged one of their lights into it but got nothing. The panels have been safe and sound and should be just fine. It seems to be the little Solar Port battery attached that isn't charging. I am a real novice so maybe I didn't understand your...

Wire directly to battery? Soooooo would I use the 12V cord and take off plug and attach pos and neg connectors to attach directly to battery bank?

Thanks. Here are pix.
