I purchased a starter kit which includes panels, cables, a solar charge controller and a mini power station to power my home office.
The Kit is supposed to be everything I need, but is missing a means of connecting my solar charge controller to my power station.
The cables that are designed to come out of my controller, are tray cables for a battery.
I want to connect the controller directly to a DC input port. The power station documents say I need a "solar charge cable (sold separately)" but Renogy didn't send one and are now not answering my calls/emails.
Questions:
Can I make a cable that I can connect directly to the charge controller to the DC input port (safely!).
Is there an off-the shelf one I can buy anywhere?
Here's what I bought:
200 Watt 12 Volt Solar Starter Kit with 30A PWM Charge Controller
and
PHOENIX 230V/200W 222WH PORTABLE POWER STATION
Note: The power station works well to power my garden office. I just want to charge it using my panels!
Any advice MUCH appreciated. New to this game.
