Solar DIY: Preparing Battery Cables for Solar Installation

[@alvijarro3528]

You can use a zip tie and push it all the way to the top to hold the wire together so you can fit a terminal on the wire

This is great feedback, thank you!

[@paulbuckley7607]

I do like your videos you guys put out as long as the content is correct. Using the wrong lugs with the improper wire size will leave voids inside your connectors, and possibly cause fire, death or property damage.

We have noticed that the China wire size vs American AWG has been noticed and we are working on a clear definition.

Nice video. Thanks Kelly!

Please provide a link to the crimping tool used.

What material is the ultra fine wire made from? Can I use a copper ring terminal with it?

[@SignatureSolar]

If you are referring to the wire inside the battery cable, this is copper and a copper ring terminal is fine :)

Nice demo.

Glad you enjoyed it

What size lug is needed for the latest EG4 6000XP? I understand they changed from bolts to lugs. What lug size do I need 5/16 or 3/8?

[@SignatureSolar]

5/16

Great job, thanks…

Our pleasure!

Sorry, but what did you call the push on connector? I've heard amphenol (which is a brand name) but you kept saying Dexen? Dexden? Desden?

[@Scotty3Ballz]

Degsun

[@AndirHon]

@@Scotty3Ballz Thanks!

I dont see degson connectors listed on your website.

Thanks 👍

[@SignatureSolar]

You're so welcome 👍

I thought each Power Pro was supposed to come with a cable to connect to another Power Pro with 2 degson connectors? Mine only came with 4 cables (2 pos, 2 neg), both with one end with a degson connector, and the other end just stranded wire. So now I gotta go buy degson connectors also, so I can connect to another Power Pro.

[@SignatureSolar]

The cables come with a Degson connector on one end and the open wire on the other. Here is the link to the Degson connectors if you are needing more for your project! :) signaturesolar.com/eg4-powerpro-battery-cable-connector-orange/
