Hi all,
I think I know the answer and reckon I should run it by a smarter crowd than just me, myself, and I. I got this cable with the expectation that it would simply plug into a 100W folding panel I have had for a while and charge a small battery bank via the PD 60W In/Out port. As you can (hopefully) see from the pic, it appears I got the connectors backwards. When I plug the USB C end into the PD 60W port on the battery and the XT60 end into the panel (full sunlight), the display on the battery bank reads 0 watts. When I plug the DC Out cable (DC 5521) from the panel into the battery bank Input port (DC 5521), the display reads something like 52 watts. So, I can tell the panel is putting out juice and the battery is operable. I guess I expected the connectors to carry current in either direction, but I can see that may have been folly.
That's about it. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or input!
