I chopped an extra 8mm GZ cord I had and added an Anderson plug to one end and left the MALE 8mm on the other. You need the smallest 15amp Anderson's for the GZ wire and the larger 45 Amp ones for the 10 gauge coming off the panel. Anderson Plugs are unisex. No male or female.

    Forgot Amp hour inside but definitely user replaceable battery.
    Thanks for the info. Got my 350 plus 30w panel in. Peace of mind knowing that I don't have to send the unit to get the battery replaced.

    Get 'em while you can.

    Solar Cynergy's PV modules (solar panels) are made using PV cells from Q-cells - and Q-cells is now officially belly up.

    Please forgive the newbie question. Do these panels come with wiring or do I have to order something like this and run it to my controller?

    good question i wish i would have asked before i ordered my panel. Yes you will need to order that kit or cut the connectors off and do something different. now i need to figure out what route to take, order the kit or buy new connectors, think i will just order the kit.

    I ordered the 80w panel and associated cables. Those prices are hard to pass up.
