Is it safe to just cut off the clamps and secure the wires to the battery another way?

if that what you want to do. just remember if you need to disconnect the cord in a hurry. The way I look at things why buy it if your going to modify it. Go to the parts house and buy and build it your way

Sure you can cut off the clamps and put some solder less connecters on the wires to make a more perminate connection.Just make sure red is on red and black is on black.

on mine the wires have wire ends and they just slip off if they are sodered cut wires at battery and resoder to new battery

Yes. The C-clamps can be removed without any trace. You just have to have access to your electrical switchboard and be comfortable removing the cover panel so that you can attach the C-clamps, or have an electrician do it.

Run the 2 leads to your battery terminal or to your fuse panel, battery is easier. I used Velcro to mount my lights, but you could use self tapping screws if you'd like if you need to extend the wires you'll need a set of wire strippers and some additional 24 ga stranded wire and butt connectors.

I spliced the wires together and used heat shrink covers. It's not exactly the best way to do it but the results were clean and safe.

There are a couple methods that will work. The first is to attach battery clips to the panel cord, then when needed clip onto the battery. This is simple but you always need to make sure the polarity is correct and when not attached it would be good to not let the clips touch so the panel isn't shorted. Another method would be to purchase a mating set of 2 pin flat connectors. These are similar to the 4 pin connectors used to connect a trailer to a car. Connect one to the battery (best if the exposed pin is connected to minus). Connect the other to the panel (exposed pin connected to plus). Now you just have to mate the connector and there is no chance of a short. Regards

Although not critical, most manufacturers highly recommend disconnecting the battery before removing/connecting MAF sensors. Failure to do so may introduce a spurious voltage spike into this sensitive device, thus maybe damaging/destroying it.

Hi Le, The wire you have connects to photo voltaic panel and should not be cut. On the other end you can cut it to shorten and connect it to your charge controller. You need to get another set of wires to connect to your battery terminals plus and minus with battery clamps. Hope this helps, Derrick

No but you can cut the wires and attach whatever battery connector you choose.

You can buy these> Battery Tender 081-0069-4 Alligator Clips with Black 2-Pin Quick Disconnect PlugAny clip with this same *wire connection* will work fine. I use the ones off of my Battery Tender because they are a few inches longer to make the stretch to a good ground.

A small strip of Velcro should work and still allow you to remove it to change the battery.

You can have connections to the "unprotected" side of the battery. Just keep them to a minimum as a large load can discharge the battery and the Battery Protector can not disconnect them to save the battery.

There should be no problem doing that. You should tin the wires, solder, to prevent them from unraveling.

Yes, just make sure to install the C-wire. Then, the batteries will just function as backup

At least in our case, the original connectors to the battery were on very tight, and might require a little care to take off. Other than that, it's as everyone else noted - pretty easy.

No I did a similar thing with them using a battery and winch... You should be fine just be sure to silicone the back of the terminal once the wires are connected

Yes - you can use a bolt/washer-battery terminal/ring terminal-washer/nut assembly to connect your wires to the battery. Spray with a corrosion resistant spray before assembling and after if the battery assembly will be exposed to moisture or moist outdoor conditions.Good Luck!
