Need help buying correct cables

[tom1]

This is my first solar generator set-up and on top of that, I'm mechanically illiterate , so I need things really spelled out. I have an Anker 757 solar generator , a LIPOWER 100W Portable Solar Panel 18V, and two 100 watt Renogy solar panels. I've wasted hours trying to find the right cables to connect my panels to my generator, and if I can't get someone to send me a direct link to the cables I need , I'm giving up, because it shouldn't be this difficult. I've contacted Anker , and it took me 3 tries to get the right cable based off what they told me. The problem is that the only cable I've been able to get is 2 ft long . And I've searched for a longer version of that cable to no avail. Can someone please end my misery and just send me some direct links to the cables I need? I can attach pictures of my gear if need be, just ask , thanks.

A picture would help/

The cable pictured is : DC 5.5 mm (signal pin female end) to XT60 (male end). It works but I need a 20-30 ft version that has the two little prongs on the end that plugs into the portable panel pictured, so you can twist that end so it locks inside of the hole to plug it into the panel. Tks again for the help

Your fold-able solar panel does not seem to provide a plug to fit the Anker. Looking through the reviews at Amazon I noticed a mention that this panel would not fit other power stations due to lack of adapter.

I also see of the various outputs it does have it seems to max out at 45w.

Here's my 100 watt renogy panel that I'm also trying to hook up to the 757 Anker. Any idea on what cable to use? Tks

Your Renogy Cables are MC4. If you got the XT-60 to plug into the anker, an XT-60 to MC4 adapter.

I do recommend testing the adapter for polarity prior to plugging the panel into the anker.
