Are there Quick Connectors to Attach Solar Panels to Batteries
Question:
Is there a quick connection method for connecting two 100 watt solar panels via voltage regulator to my batteries, 2 - 12 volt in parallel, without having to open the battery boxes?

Expert Reply:
What you could do is use quick connects such as # BDW20047. One of them you would wire to the batteries using 10 gauge wire such as # 10-2-1, sold by the foot, and the other one would wire to the solar panels. These connectors can accept wire as small as 10 gauge so anything smaller than that you would have to double up the wire before securing it in the terminals.
