I bought a power pack and two solar panels and realised that I hadn't a clue how to work them. Your video answered every one of my questions in less than half an hour. I rarely go through the trouble of signing in to KZfaq to comment, but in this case, I just had to say THANK YOU! You saved my day.

@kele1264 4 жыл бұрын

This is the best explanation of series and parallel, the different types of connectors, and how to connect the solar panels to the Bluetti and the Jackery, that I have ever heard. I could hear your explanation, see you physically demonstrating as you explained, and see the diagrams you inset at the ideal times. I don't think it could get any better than this for people who don't know much about this stuff but are willing to try. Your assurance that we are unlikely to fry anything while trying, gives the hesitant person the push that's needed. Everyone will be ok as long as they're not standing barefoot in a puddle during a thunderstorm and pinching bare wire with bare fingers. And if they are, well, perhaps nature has selected them for extinction. Thank you very much.

Thank you soooo much! I've been trying to hook a Rich Solar monocrystalline solar panel that has an Andersen connector to the Tacklife generator which has a 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC input. (A month ago, I didn't even know any of these terms!) Imagine my frustration as a newbie to all of this when the two products came and I didn't have any idea how to connect them. I spent two weeks researching and trying to educate myself. Long story short and $30 later at this very moment, I'm charging my generator with this panel using an Andersen to MC4 adapter and MC4 to DC 5.5 x 2.5 mm input adapter. I have two of these panels and wanted to connect them in parallel, and wasn't sure how to do it, and I think you have helped me to finally understand how to do this. Plus, you validated all of the work I have done and solidified all that I have learned over the past two weeks. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. You are a great teacher!

Thank you! That's the best breakdown ever! I'm trying to keep a Goal Zero power station alive after the AGM battery got damaged. The cable was out of sight and the station didn't get its charging fix within 3 months... Now I got hold of the cable, I am trying to upgrade it to solar charging as well, and lo and behold, in the process, this vid teaches me I could have saved that AGM battery by simply using my IBM-Lenovo laptop's charging cable all along. LMAO Note I'm not in the West. (... Thus don't have easy access to proprietary cables, etc) All worth it as I now feel way more confident tackling solar kit setups.
