Can Wire Extenders be Made to Add Length to Torklift Solar Panel Tool Boxes
Question:
I installed the tla7710rs solar battery box and it us working great. I would like to move my batteries to the side away from the solar panel. Can I purchase a longer wire from the solar cell to the batteries?

Expert Reply:
Since there isn't a longer wire extender available for the Torklift solar panel battery boxes your best option will be to make one. This won't be difficult as basically all you need to do is splice in two new wires to the length you need.
You'd want to use 12 gauge wire like part # 12-1-1 (sold by foot) spliced into the current wires. For butt connectors then we have the part # DW05745-5 for a set of 5.
