Tip for Making Connection to Cut Wire that Doesn't have Much Wire Left to Connect to
Question:
I had some young male thieves try to steal the two batteries from my Sprindale travel trailer battery box which had a solar panel on top of battery box They cut the wires from the solar panel, model ZS-M-10 right where the end plugs in...I only have 1/4 inch of wire on the plug end. The solar panel itself is not damaged...how can I fix this problem without having to buy a new solar panel from my travel trailer company.

Expert Reply:
With only 1/4 inch of wire exposed to attach to I would recommend soldering the connection as that is best for tighter wiring clearances like what you have. Which we have soldering kits like the part # PTW2080 which would come with everything to do this, but it might be easiest to take it to someone who can solder since it is a bit of a skill to learn.
