just purchased this battery for my solar generator. What kind of posts does it have, and what hardware do I need to purchase to connect the wires

They have a simple nut and bolt connection, so if you have a round 1/4" wire hookups, at the end of your wires, you will be good to go. It will look like a car battery cable only smaller.

The posts have holes In them for 1/4 bolt usually supplied. You will need to crimp or solder a round connector for the wire.

I ordered this battery and the posts were in the same location as the battery I replaced. Gerry

Hello I hope which I hope you you need 10gauge wire you need a shunt a amp meter for you know how many amps you are receiving from your solar panel it could be 100w or 50w.the wires coming out of the path into the charge controller must be 12 V have the battery don't forget your user have relayed or fuses him all the connections and you should be good if you could go to youtube on your computer and you will learn everything you need to know I hope this helps you and thank you for asking my pleasure to help you

I need more information. What kind and size of battery was it attached to? Were you charging the battery with a solar panel, or what?

A lot more information is going to be needed. What battery voltage are you going to be using, how far of a run, do the 100 watt panels have mc4 ends? The questions could go on for days. This has standard screw type terminals, so all you need to do is strip the copper, stick it in its hole, and tighten the screw. Hooking up panels can be a very different task if there are not mc4 ends. Then you will need a water/weatherproof junction box to combine the panel terminations, and then run a single line from where the panels. Your question is far too open ended to even try and answer.

This is a "battery" panel. To work together with my local energy provider, you'll need to connect "grid-tie" panels using quality grid-tie inverters..

U can use either reg battery cables or smaller 12V cables, battery has both large & small post. I've had 1 for 2 yrs its a good battery for trolling, get 4 to 5 hours on 50lb motor

IIRC they mentioned a couple different ones in the manual (or perhaps it was an earlier review of this generator). In any event, I picked one up at Walmart that had been listed as a proper battery for the unit. The one I got fits the battery bracket perfectly. Measure yours and take the dimensions down to Walmart and you should be good to go. 12v battery the one I bought came packaged with acid which I had to fill the battery with.

Yes. If you had a radio before the wires should be there. If not you will need at least one long wire to the positive side of battery and just ground any where close to radio. I used a small lawn mower battery for power and mounted close. Lasted all day.

Three things to check: 1. Do you really want the negative terminal on the left side of the battery? That's where it is on this particular one. 2. Check the battery configuration on your vehicle. The battery needs a different hold-down than the normal rectangular one. 3. Do you want a "post-type" hookup rather than a "screw-in" mount? This one is a "post-type".

not sure what that is,so the picture is how they come .i did cut it and put battery connecters on the end which i had to buy and crimp the wired end and put battery connecters on along with a inline fuse,hope this helps.

The best way to get the proper wiring size and type is to use a wire chart. It will depend upon the current of your source as well as the length of the run. You will need to know the ratings of your solar array to get the proper size.

The connectors you will need are the spade type (female) quick disconnect. The ones on the battery are the spade (male) ones.Good battery got it on a 30w solar panel running two small fans blowing the hot air out of a small metal shed.

It comes with a mounting plate, so just hardware i.e. wire, nuts, bolts etc. Other than a battery and charge controller you should be good to go. Now that I read the other two answers I'd say we are agree. :)

Without seeing the schematic for the hook up, it is hard to advise you. There should be a charge input, that would go to the solar panel. There should be a load, that should be the device you are running, and there should be a battery connection, which is of course the battery. Make sure you observe the correct polarities on all of them. They should me marked + and -. If you are not sure, use a volt-ohm-meter to check.

I bought some extra wire but didn't need it. Just spliced in to the existing wire. I already had a 5 amp panel. It wasn't enough to keep the battery charged. So the short answer other than wire you shouldn't need anything

Click on the picture of the battery. This will load the picture and you can scan the right side. There you will see the two connectors. They require a female spade connectors. They should already be on whatever you want to connect. Otherwise you can get them at any hardware store (ACE, Home Depot, Lowes). Make sure you get the correct size (wide).
