just to re-iterate…..1 panel, 2 sets of cables on mc4 split connectors, 2 charging stations, but only 1 will be used

2 chargers on one cell?
I see potential grounding/misoperation issues.
Not a lot of info to go on.

Grounding/misoperation issues???

the panel is charging a bluettie solar generator, as i have only 1 of these, i cant see any misoperation issues…..as for grounding, its not required.

Your original post implied you were charging 2 devices.
Moving one device to 2 locations no problem.

No…i said charging stations, not devices

Define only 1 will be used at a given time. Do you mean you'll only connect the solar cable to one when that one is in use?

how are you going to isolate the one not being used?

I only have one….its a solar generator from bluetti, you just unplug it moving to were you need it. No isolation required

its 1 panel, i generator…2 different charging areas ( 1 x office, 1 x deck)….come on guys its not rocket science

I only have 1 as stated above, i will move it to the area required, with the required cable in that area. Like plugging it into a socket when you move a lamp around the house…..when its plugged into the office cable, it cant be plugged into the deck cable as its down two floors and outside.

Oh come on.

The original question was too vague to answer without clarification.

Too vague, seriously……i listed all components and both charging stations and named them differently. How is that too vague

yet @mopat got it straight away

 

[Supervstech]

If you only have one place to plug in the mc4, I see no reason to use a splitter.

We are going to need more clarification in what you want to connect to what to give a helpful answer.

Ok…..i want to move my bluetti Solar generator between the office and the deck for usage.

i have one solar panel that uses mc4 connectors running a cable to the bluetti and plugged into the back with a dc7909 plug attached.

during the evening/adternoon i want to use the same bluetti down on the deck to pwer the outside tv, skyq box and soundbar……..i want to use mc4 splits to connect two charging cables with same dc7909 plug on the end…..1 will run upstairs to the office and 1 will run along the front of the decking to station 2 under the TV……


it works, no worries, im already doing it as we speak….no more posts required.

Surely your not that sensitive??…..

 

[rin67630]

I would cut a part of the MC4 latch straps into a trapezoidal shape to be able to unplug them without too much complications.

 

[BradCagle]

I'm not, however "you're" coming across as arrogant, and entitled. You were not clear in what you were asking.

Entitled…..come on @mopat thought i was being very clear, when he gave me an instant answer on post 1. after that there was no arrogant posts, maybe you are overly sensitive, but thats ok.

my question has already been answered and no further help, comment is required.

Thank you
