Mc4 adapter kit 10ft vs 20ft does this cause a difference in charge output?

This kit only includes a 9" adaptor kit. The 10' and 20' have around 0.5volts difference. The shorter cable, the better.

You can add lengths with the coupling connector but not with the power supply that comes with the kit, it will burn out in a short period of time. If you add another 16.4' length you must double the output Ampacity of the 12 volt power supply, if you add three together you must triple the Ampacity and so on.

What is the trickle charger running amp wise? Lower the better as distance increases

I also find it kind of ridiculous that the 12 outlet version has such a long power cable. That would do nothing but make a mess. 10ft is way too long for a thick cable.

I am not sure what you are asking. As stated, the cable is 30 feet long with a male MC3 connector on one end and a female MC3 connector on the other. These MC3 connectors are used with older solar panels. All the newer panels use MC4 connectors. The specific dimensions of the MC3 connector can be found just by googling "MC3 Connector" on the internet.Mike answered on December 30, 2012

Its short. Just remembering my install if you have to access power more than one foot away from the device you wish to use it on you will need to add length to the power supply end rather than the output side. I used it to power a GPS on a scooter with the need for only about 2 feet and it was too short as it was shipped. I simply added supply side wire. It then worked fine. Good luck.

Not sure, however if the numbers match it should. That said, these adapters haven't stayed true to the description, I've received 3 from 2 sellers, and my brother has also ordered some for his, and they come as 3.25A instead of 3.42A, and 20V instead of 19V. It did work for a while however I believe there is a problem with some Asus where the power supply, A/C jack, and adapter get too hot, melt the soldering points both in the AC Adapter and the jack, eventually causing damage to the motherboard, power jack, a/c adapter, and potentially the motherboard. The batteries state "Do not use any other adapter other than the one designed for this battery" and I'm not sure if that plays a role as mine started having the issues before I ever used a generic adapter, I believe it is just faulty design by ASUS, combined with neglect/abuse on my end, leaving the laptop on with skype running would cause the system to overheat when I wasn't aware, and once the problem started it became a permanent issue. Where as it ran fairly smooth and cool initially. Hope this helps, just keep in mind it is cheap and easy if it works to order generic adapters from amazon, just monitor the heat. Mine melted to the point where I had to hold the cord in to the jack and apply steady pressure at just the right angle in order to maintain a solid charge, so I was constantly aware of when and how fast it got hot. Again, this may not be a big issue with a solid charge, the issue may be in part a result of a loose charge constantly disconnecting and reconnecting, also the battery I was using was on its last legs and that is what seemed to initiate the initial problems. But to be safe check the jack, adapter where it meets the jack, and area around the jack, and ensure that it isn't overheating.

You will be using the adapter at a current that exceeds its rating. I doubt that you will damage your device. It is more likely that the adapter will burn out or have a shorter life.

I used a generic adapter with male USB connector at the opposite end so that I could charge it with my computer's USB port. As what Conley said, there is a possibility of the unit burning out but with the low amperage coming out of the computer, I haven't experienced any problems so far charging the device through this method. Been recharging the unit this way for the past 6 months if there isn't enough sunlight.

as I use different devices, get different power outputs, so seems to be the amount the device connected to it is pulling through

I have been using these chargers for some time now with no issues. The back reads:4.8A, 24W Dual Port AC AdapterModel: L48WCInput: 100-240V~50/60Hz, 0.5 AOutput 1: 5V/2.4A (max)Output 2: 5V/2.4A (max)Then it has different symbols similiar toF(C (€ RoHS Compliant

It doesn't matter because the device won't accept more of a charge than it can handle ..If it did it would fry when you plugged it into a socket. Use the 2100 for everything and use the other when you need to charge 2 devices at once. The 2nd device will change more slowly.

Looks like 240. This spec I got from megamacs dot com ... looks to be the same adapter: Input: AC 100-240V Output: DC 24V, 2.7A, 65W Fuse rating: 2.5A/250V Dimensinons: 1.1in x 2in x 4.3in Length: 10 Feet

Just compare the amp output on both if one is higher it should charge faster. But I do believe they are the same.

I have two of them wired into the charge controller via "RENOGY® 20ft. Adaptor kit Solar Cable PV with MC4 Female and Male connectors Connecting Solar Panel to Charge controller". Works great. Make sure the controller can handle the amps.

I have mine connected to an ext cord. Only 6 or 8 ft with no issues. As long as the cord allows an input of 110v to the adapter, it shouldn't matter.

Hi Chris. I'm not sure if it's the same adapter or not, but it doesn't have the "FULLPOWER" name on it.
