Is there a Anderson power pole adaptor with 8mm adaptor? If so where can I order one?

I bought a power pack and two solar panels and realised that I hadn't a clue how to work them. Your video answered every one of my questions in less than half an hour. I rarely go through the trouble of signing in to KZread to comment, but in this case, I just had to say THANK YOU! You saved my day.

"ODIN COMMANDS YOU TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE.... AND CLEAN MY LITTER BOX" Was NOT expecting that after an educational video, but I definitely enjoyed it 😂

Thank u..I'm older lady and u explain this soo simple .that I totally understand it all !!😁

You gave all of the right information for people who thought they were stuck paying four hundred dollars on proprietary panels.

Been up all night to find the best and clearest tutorial! This is the BEST....Thank you so much. Just got my Renogy (2) Solar panels. Did not have a clue how to hook it up to my Jackery 1000. I am a 65 year old woman an no clue about all this, but I really wanted a Jackery and Solar panels. Now, I know how...I learned a lot from you...Thank you so much! I had to SUBSCRIBE immediately to your channel.....

This is probably the most clear explanation of how to do this, that I have seen, while binging KZread solar videos. Thank you for taking extra to make it so understandable and simple!

I am a total duffus when it comes to cable and solar but one way I remember series is to remember the word "switch"= pos to neg. Then "parallel"= pos to pos. I really really appreciate your explanations of all things power stations and solar. More of these really close up and watching you explain things and doing them is a big big help to us newbies. Thank you sir

Your videos are doing a good job of making the use of solar understandable to the non technical types. For those of us with more experience it a good review of basics. Thanks for helping the community.

95% of all the folding panels come with a controller which I can't use with my Titan generator. Your video and explanation (only one on youtube to address this specific topic) will allow me to purchase the panels I actually want vs the few I could find without controllers. Thank$$$$ I've found your videos to be very informative. Great service to all.

But can you ? Charge a battery using the charge controller and also charge the power bank with the with way he wired it up the video at the same time ?

This guy is so calm, and speaks as simply in layman’s terms as possible and I love it, explanations are wonderfully paced and clean, series and parallel explained really helpfully and well, good job my dude damn this is such a valuable resource for brand new fellow solar power station doofuses Thanks so much

It's crazy how much reassurance you give to people terrified about frying these solar generators that can cost from hundreds to thousands.

More than just a "Thumbs Up", you really did a great job explaining all this!

Yeah, HT is helping me so much in getting my solar build together. Stoked about getting my Bluetti 2400!!!

This was the most informative video on hooking up solar panels I have seen. Concise and to the point. I appreciate the visual displays also. Thank you so much, I feel much more comfortable using my panels and solar stations now. You rock dude!

Thank you so much. We bought a Jackary solar generator and Coleman 100 W solar panels and we had no idea how to connect them until we watched your video. You were easy to understand and very informative.

This is the best explanation of series and parallel, the different types of connectors, and how to connect the solar panels to the Bluetti and the Jackery, that I have ever heard. I could hear your explanation, see you physically demonstrating as you explained, and see the diagrams you inset at the ideal times. I don't think it could get any better than this for people who don't know much about this stuff but are willing to try. Your assurance that we are unlikely to fry anything while trying, gives the hesitant person the push that's needed. Everyone will be ok as long as they're not standing barefoot in a puddle during a thunderstorm and pinching bare wire with bare fingers. And if they are, well, perhaps nature has selected them for extinction. Thank you very much.

Really appreciate your effort and time putting this together helps me take the confusion out of solar equipment ✌️☮️😎

I have been trying to find someone to learn/teach about solar for a long time and you explain it so well! Thank you!

Thank you for explaining the connection setups so thorough I have learned more from a few of your videos than dozens of other!

Thank you for taking the time to explain this! I feel much confident about what will work for my system now!

Wow, thanks Tom! This video came out at the right time, my bluetti just shipped this morning. Now I know what else to get. Thanks again for all your expertise!!!!!

Most helpful video and exactly the questions I was looking for!! And you know you can trust this guy because he's wearing a scientific suit and living off the grid! Thanks Doc

Thanks for all the informative videos. They truly help people like me (not that electrically gifted). Between you and Will Prowse I'm learning a lot!

Wow, that helped me out a lot. Just purchased a Bluetti AC50 and now I know what to get to solar charge this unit. Thanks for the informative video!

been trying to understand solar, First time solar connection made sense. Been watching lot of videos but the more info in, the more confusing it became. Your vids are great coming from a complete begginer. The force is strong with you!

Very good video. I actually followed this explanation. Usually I get overwhelmed by all the info from others folks I’ve watched

Excellent video especially for those new to solar panels and solar generators. Please do more of these type of instructional videos they are invaluable.

Thank you so much for such a great video on how to connect a solar panel to a solar generator. I recently bought a Renogy Solar suitcase and wasn't sure how to use it to charge my Bluetti. Now because of your video, I now know. Thanks again for a great video!

You are clear, thoughtful, Concise, and articulate. I appreciate your cadence as a Great Teacher. Thank You Professor HobOTech

Thanks because of these Im finally putting together my first solar set up. Really appreciate the clarity of your presentations and that you know just when to slow down and talk to the slow people out in the world who don't know anything about connectors.

Great Video..Thank you very much for taking the time to show us this.... Your the man Professor...👍👍

What a great channel, I have learned so much about connecting solar to power stations from checking out your videos. You make everything so clear and undestandable.

You rock! Thanks for your explanation. Everything I learned in kindergarten I learned from Hobotech !! Love you man!

Awesome! Everything I needed to know right now--right on time!

Perfect! Just what I was looking for! I'm so buying the MC4 8mm connector, thank you so much!

I am glad I have found your channel. By far one of the best solar channel on KZread. Great job sir.

I love how you explain things about solar. It’s Very easy to understand as a newbie👍

Thank you so much for doing this video. I did have questions & didn't wanna keep bugging you. You answered them all in this video. Thank you!

HT I thank you for this viedo. You previously answered my question but this. Made my confidence level go way up. Nice to know there is a channel who can talk to Tech minds as well as minds like mine that need a little bit of dumbing down. You the man ! Thank you again.

Thank you! That's the best breakdown ever! I'm trying to keep a Goal Zero power station alive after the AGM battery got damaged. The cable was out of sight and the station didn't get its charging fix within 3 months... Now I got hold of the cable, I am trying to upgrade it to solar charging as well, and lo and behold, in the process, this vid teaches me I could have saved that AGM battery by simply using my IBM-Lenovo laptop's charging cable all along. LMAO Note I'm not in the West. (... Thus don't have easy access to proprietary cables, etc) All worth it as I now feel way more confident tackling solar kit setups.

Wow thanks I've been fighting this forever, I'll be subscribing and watching from now on! God bless my bother

Thank you for this!! I asked you some questions on another video you did. I am just seeing how full of videos your channel is! Exactly what I need to learn so I know what I need. So I'll hopefully find my answers through your videos. I have lots of questions. Appreciate it!

Thank you sooo much, you explain things so well, I have been researching heaps and was confused...I feel peace again...sigh of relief....

Thank you. This saved me money. Didn't buy a new solar panel to replace one I thought wasn't compatible with my bluetti. A mc4 to anderson 50amp plug I bought had the polarity reversed. Thank you for all your incredible content :)

I was looking for a video like this. Thanks for the in-depth review helped clear up a lot of questions I had.

Your videos are super educational and clear to understand! - Thanks and good job.

Sir, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. This will help me setting up my Bluetti.

Yes, This is what I have been searching the answer for. So glad I kept looking, I just didn't know the right question to ask. Thank You SOooooooo Much! Be Blessed!

Omg! Thank you!! Exactly what I needed to know before making product selections!

This was the best explanation of how to hook up and use solar with battery banks!!! Subscribed!!!

Direct, concise explanation step by step, excellent presentation.

I met you a few years ago at the RTR and subscribe to your page but somehow lost track of you. Had one of your stickers on the back of my brand new bus at the time, in fact it was the first sticker! Tonight I googled show me how to hook up my Recool 300 watt to a solar panel and there you were. Thank goodness I found you again. Now I understand how to do this. Appreciate you and I’m now subscribed!

Hey Mister Hobo two thumbs up 👍👍 I'd even give you two snaps and a circle for this one! 😁 Thank you! You're such a good teacher and I'm a total beginner. Confused beginner.

Thank you for this video, I didn't know how simple this was.

Thanks @HOBOTECH really appreciate your videos. Easy to understand 👍❤️

Exactly everything I wanted to know in one video! Thanks!

AWESOME TEACHING.. YOU BROUGHT IT DOWN TO MY NON-TECKIE LEVEL... THANK YOU SO MUCH..

Thank you, so much, for doing this video. I didn't even realize the Maxoak had come with the MC4 connector. Now I'll look for regular solar panels, and hope to save some money over the folding types. It's been a long day here, so will checkout your amazon link in the morning. Give Odin a kiss for me.

I recently discovered your channel and am a subscriber. I watched many of your videos. I was able to purchase a bluetti eb240 using your discount code. Thank you!! This is exactly the video I need to help me shop for the solar panels for the bluetti. I was lost ... series or parallel,voc, amps, etc. After viewing this video i have a much better understanding what i am looking for re solar panels (folding, suitcase, rigid or flex panels -- so many choices)! Thanks so much for your time making these videos and sharing your knowledge!

Exactly what I was looking for. Great content. Well explained! Thumbs up and subbed!

Thank you soooo much! I've been trying to hook a Rich Solar monocrystalline solar panel that has an Andersen connector to the Tacklife generator which has a 5.5 x 2.5 mm DC input. (A month ago, I didn't even know any of these terms!) Imagine my frustration as a newbie to all of this when the two products came and I didn't have any idea how to connect them. I spent two weeks researching and trying to educate myself. Long story short and $30 later at this very moment, I'm charging my generator with this panel using an Andersen to MC4 adapter and MC4 to DC 5.5 x 2.5 mm input adapter. I have two of these panels and wanted to connect them in parallel, and wasn't sure how to do it, and I think you have helped me to finally understand how to do this. Plus, you validated all of the work I have done and solidified all that I have learned over the past two weeks. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. You are a great teacher!

FIRST OF ALL. YOU ARE HEAVEN SENT LOVE THE VIDEOS. GREATLY APPRECIATED

Wow, your timing is perfect. I just received my maxoak 2400 with a 100 watt Flex panel. And I just ordered 30 feet of cable with mc4 connectors on both ends. Now I'm confident to order a second Flex panel and do a series connection for when the power is out here in California. Thank you for your videos and your coupon codes they work perfect on the maxoak.

Couldn't you go with a third panel in series for a quicker charge time? Also curious if you've had a chance to use your 2400 and if so, what do you think about the product?

@@jayson1710 I did order a Bogue solar panel right after Professor Hobore veiw. The demand was so good that it's on backorder until mid September. I have used the maxoak on some power tools and tested it out with some kitchen appliances. It works as advertised I did have some trouble running my 25 cubic foot refrigerator but after a couple of resets it ran it fine not using much power. For the microwave and the induction cooktop I just used it on a lower setting, probably 60% on a 1100 watt microwave and level 2 on a 1500 watt induction cooktop. I'm sure that it will run my Wi-Fi router and my TV during a power outage which is my main concern. Will post a comment when I get my 170 Watts solar panel.

Your videos are super informative and I always learn something

Thanks for the video! Very well explained. I even shared it with my non technical friends!

Thank you so much for explaining all of this!! It was all very helpful.

This was an excellent explanation and helped a lot! Thanks.

Thank You Professor Hobo for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤

This video was very helpful for a beginner, thank you very much, it helped me a lot❤

Very informative Tom, great job.

This is what I have been looking for. Bought the Anderson to Jackery Connector and took the wires from the Battery on the Charge Controller to the Solar on the Charge Controller. So simple.

Beautifully scripted and edited..!! Thank you Professor Hobo..

A couple things you should probably mention: 1. Anderson Powerpole connectors are great and all. but they are NOT weatherproof. 2. MC4 connectors are weatherproof, but they need a special tool to disconnect (take them apart).

Hi can I charge my power station and use it at the same time? Be it solar or direct electricity?

A brilliant and really informative video. A big thumbs up from me. Thank you.

Thank you so much for explaining so well. You are awesome.

So awesome, I have learned a lot! Bypass the controller and now my Jackery will get charged 😁😁😁

I learned a lot watching this video. Will watch more.

Two thumbs up for this one. Thank you for such an excellent video!

Good content here. Thanks for demystifying solar connections to battery power stations.

Awesome! Its exactly what I needed to know -Thank you so much!!! 👍😁

Thank You for a great video and I appreciate that you make understanding this information so simple. By the way coolest cat ever.

Parallel is the same, easy to remember. Series therefore is the opposite. Thanks, as always great information, thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much. This video taught me so much that I had no idea I didnt know. Saved me an expensive buying mistake too!
