If I purchase the charge controller also, will I need any additional connectors?

No, the Schumacher SPC-7A 12 Volt Solar Charge Controller is made to just plug into the output cable from the solar panel and has a cable that just plugs directly into the cigarette lighter plug cable that is included in the SP-400. I bought both and the work great together. I am extremely happy with them.

I wouldn't spend your money on the charger. I had mine only one week and it stopped charging

If you get the solar panel plus the Schumacher SP-400 4.8W Solar Battery Charger / Maintainer it will come with cables and should be everything you need....Mine works great to keep my Ford F-150 from battery drain even in overcast days with aftermarket radio and trailer brakes unit all draining for weeks between needing to use truck....good luck,

Yes you will need one in order for the USB 3.0 connection on the panel to plug into and to work.

You always need a Solar Charge Controller between the solar panel and the battery. This particular solar panel comes with a solar charge controller, so you don't need to buy one. You will need to connect it. The controller that came with the panel I bought is not high quality. I purchased a separate charge controller. The charge controller needs to be rated for 12 V battery and at least 2 A (amps). There are many available. How you connect to the battery depends on the battery terminals. I need reliability, so I bought ring crimp-connectors that fit the clamps on the battery.

It has the second USB connector if additional power is needed but I am running it using just the main USB connector plugged in....No issues to speak of.

No, it comes with just short ~9" positive and negative leads to which you would connect a cable that you'll have to provide. Your cable would go from the panel to your charge controller.

It all depends on which charge controller you choose. If your charge controller is rated for 24V then you're good.

I put in two seperate ones with the charge controllers one for each battery, the charge controller has two indicator lights on it one for charging and one for charged otherwise I couldn't tell if it was working, a little expensive but they do work

it comes with one cable that can charge a controller through the usb port. the charges last longer than i thought they would. charger would be nice but not necessary.

Yes, use the charge controller and configure according to the directions that come with it. I got the 30 amp one.

It comes with mc4 connectors on the leads. I know it shows all the other wires in the picture but the newer panel just comes with the 2 (-) and (+) leads. Yes, you will need a solar controller if you are hooking this panel to a battery. The controller regulates voltage into the battery to prevent overcharging and a good controller will automatically disconnect if the voltage gets too low.

Depends on length of required from panel to charge controller. If less than 15 ft....buy two cables and cut in half.

Yes you have to order the battery tender 1st, then you can get the connector.

Yes, but you will need a charge controller with this panel. A charge controller is designed to protect the battery by managing the charge rate.

It's not listed, but as long as your charger fits and you can make the ground pins and the positive pin connect you'll be fine.

Yes, the over charge protector (also called a charge controller) is included, as are various wire connectors. You will not need everything in the kit.
