Use the appropriate size of ring terminals that fit the charge controller and battery terminals. Connect to Charge Controller: Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive terminal on the charge controller. Connect the negative (-) cable to the negative terminal on the charge controller. Connect to Battery: Connect the other end of the positive cable to the positive terminal on the battery. Connect the other end of the negative cable to the negative terminal on the battery. Secure Connections: Ensure that all connections are tight and secure to prevent any loose connections or arcing. Use wrenches or screwdrivers to tighten the terminal screws. Heat Shrink Tubing: Slide heat shrink tubing over the crimped terminals. Use a heat source (e.g., heat gun) to shrink the tubing, providing additional insulation and protection. Test the System: Use a multimeter to check the voltage at various points to ensure the correct polarity and voltage levels. Confirm that the charge controller is detecting the battery and is functioning properly. Secure Cables: Secure the cables to prevent tripping hazards or damage.
