Will this extension cable work?

Product Discussion BLUETTI AC Series
1

I purchased the Bluetti AC180 + Bluetti 350W solar panel combo sold as a combo by Bluetti on Amazon. It came with the car charger, AC charger and the Solar panel cord. The Solar Panel cord is too short for our liking and we want to use an extension cord. Question is:

  1. Will this 10 AWG MC4 to MC4 extension cord work (link below) as an extension cord by connecting it between the solar panel cables and the short solar cord supplied by Bluetti which is (DC7909 - MC4)

  2. Since I would have to connect this female to male at both ends in between the solar cable and the MC4 end of the DC7909 cable – would this connection make this a SERIAL connection or does that only apply when connecting BETWEEN the panels?

Thanks for any help. We are new to this.

Hi @WEFISHALLDAY

Yes, you can use the cable from the Amazon link. Just connect one pair to the MC4 of the PV350 and on the other end the DC7909 Adapter cable which connect to your AC180.

A series connection only apply to two or mor panels. Just connect + and - from the panel to the extension cord on one side and connect the + and - from the adapter on the other side is just a normal connection.

When connect the extension cord, make sure that the Male plug on the Solarpanel gets connected with the female plug (red cable)of the extension cord and the female plug of the solarpanel with the male plug (black cable) of the extension cord. At the end of the extionsion cord, plus should be male again and minus female to match the layout from the solarpanel.
