The 4AWG version is the heavy option, for larger controllers and higher charge currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable between charge controller and battery carries the full charge current, and people routinely undersize it because it looks like a short, unimportant run. It is not. A 60A MPPT controller pushing hard into a hungry lithium bank is moving serious current, and thin cable there means voltage drop the controller cannot see properly, slower charging, and heat. At 4AWG (25mm²) this set is sized for the larger controllers, which is exactly the situation where getting it wrong is most expensive. Having ring terminals already crimped on the battery end saves you making up the connection that matters most, and the bare wire end drops straight into the controller's terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4AWG (25mm²) conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e – heavy gauge for high-current charge controllers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory-crimped ring terminals\u003c\/strong\u003e – proper connection at the battery end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBare wire at the controller end\u003c\/strong\u003e – terminates directly into the controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4 metre length\u003c\/strong\u003e – enough to reach a sensibly mounted controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/strong\u003e – positive and negative, colour coded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible stranded copper\u003c\/strong\u003e – routes into tight lockers without fighting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting a 40A or 60A MPPT charge controller to a battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarger solar arrays on caravans, campers and off-road trailers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing undersized charge-controller wiring on an existing install.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLithium systems that accept high charge currents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny run where charge performance is being lost to voltage drop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e4Matt Campers supplies Renogy gear nationwide across \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Keep the run short and supported, use grommets through any bulkhead, and do not let the cable rub on a sharp edge behind a panel where you will never see it wearing through. Terminate the bare end into the controller cleanly, with ferrules if the terminals take them, and torque the ring terminals properly at the battery. Standard practice on a solar install is to connect the battery to the controller first and the panels last, and to disconnect in the reverse order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick the controller from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-charge-controllers\"\u003esolar charge controllers\u003c\/a\u003e collection and panels from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-panels\"\u003esolar panels\u003c\/a\u003e range.
