Why Do You Need A Jackery DC Extension Cable For Solar Panel?
A Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel is a useful accessory that can help you charge your Jackery portable power station with solar panels more conveniently and efficiently. Here are some reasons why you may need a Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel:
- To extend the reach of your solar panel: A Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel can extend the reach of your solar panel by 5 metres (16.4 feet), which means you can place your solar panel further away from your portable power station. This can be helpful in situations where you need to find a sunny spot for your solar panel, or where you want to keep your portable power station indoors or in a shaded area.
- To connect multiple solar panels: A Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel can also help you connect multiple solar panels in parallel to increase the power input to your portable power station. This can be helpful in situations where you need to charge your portable power station faster or where you have high power consumption needs.
- To avoid voltage drop: A Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel can also help you avoid voltage drop, which is the loss of voltage that occurs when the current travels through a long or thin wire. Voltage drop can reduce the charging efficiency and speed of your portable power station. A Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel has a thick diameter of 7mm (0.28 inches) and a premium copper core that produces less resistance and delivers a fast and stable current.
How To Use A Jackery DC Extension Cable For Solar Panel?
Using a Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel is very easy and straightforward. Here are some steps to follow:
- Step 1: Check the compatibility of your solar panel and portable power station. Make sure that they have the same output voltage (12V or 24V) and connector type (8mm or Anderson). You can find this information on the product specifications or manuals.
- Step 2: Connect one end of the Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel to your solar panel’s output port. Make sure that the connection is secure and stable.
- Step 3: Connect the other end of the Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel to your portable power station’s input port. Make sure that the connection is secure and stable.
- Step 4: Turn on your portable power station and check the LCD screen for the input status. You should see a sun icon indicating that it is receiving power from the solar panel.
- Step 5: Adjust the position and angle of your solar panel to face the sun directly and avoid any shading or obstruction. This way, you can optimize the sun exposure and power output of your solar panel.
If you want to connect multiple solar panels in parallel, you will need an additional parallel adapter cable that can split the output of one solar panel into two or more inputs for other solar panels. You can then connect each input to a Jackery DC extension cable for solar panel and then to your portable power station.
