Hello everyone,
Newbie here to the board and to solar as well. Quick question. I have both a marine battery and a goal zero battery that I'd like to charge with my Renogy Solar Suitcase panel. The problem is with the goal zero since it has a built-in charge controller I'm unable to charge it with my current panel setup. Is it possible/advisable to cut the cable between the panel and charge controller and install two MC4 connectors to allow the panel to bypass it's charge controller when charging batteries with built-in controllers? Hopefully that makes sense. I've included a pic to help visualize what I'm talking about.
Also, any recommendations for doing so. Like I said I'm pretty new to this and don't want to mess up this great panel.
Thanks,
Tom
