PHOTONIC UNIVERSE ACCESSORY
4.0mm Solar Cable with 50A Battery Plug & 8mm Ring Terminals
0.5m Length | 10A Fuse | For Folding Solar Kits
This 0.5m 4.0mm² cable from Photonic Universe is specifically designed to provide a secure and convenient connection for your 12V folding solar charging kits. It features a 50A battery plug (compatible with Anderson-style connectors) on one end, an integrated 10A fuse, and robust 8mm ring (eyelet) terminals on the other.
Ideal as a replacement for standard crocodile clip leads, this cable offers a more permanent and space-efficient solution for connecting your solar kit to a battery. The ring terminals can be securely attached to your battery posts, while the 50A plug allows for quick and easy connection or disconnection of your folding solar panel kit.
Buyer Note: The grey 50A battery plug supplied is one half of a complete 50A battery connector, designed to mate with a corresponding Anderson-style plug on your solar kit.

Common Questions
What is the 50A battery plug compatible with?
The 50A battery plug on this cable is designed to be compatible with standard 50A Anderson-style connectors, commonly found on many portable solar kits and battery charging accessories.
Why use ring terminals instead of crocodile clips?
Ring terminals offer a more permanent, secure, and low-profile connection to battery posts compared to crocodile clips. They are particularly useful in confined battery boxes where space is limited, or when a more robust and stable connection is desired.
What solar kits is this cable suitable for?
This cable is specifically designed for use with 12V Photonic Universe folding solar charging kits ranging from 40W to 150W. It provides the necessary connectors and fuse for these particular systems.
Is the 10A fuse replaceable?
Yes, the inline 10A fuse is typically replaceable. It is designed to protect the circuit from overcurrent and can be swapped out if it blows, provided the underlying issue causing the overcurrent is resolved.
Installation Notes
When installing, ensure the 8mm ring terminals are securely fastened to your battery posts, observing correct polarity (typically red for positive, black for negative). The 50A battery plug can then be used to connect your folding solar charging kit. Always ensure all connections are tight and free from corrosion for optimal performance and safety.
While the cable itself is robust, the integrated 10A fuse is the limiting factor for current. Ensure your solar kit's maximum output current does not consistently exceed 10A to prevent fuse blowing.
Before You Buy
To ensure this cable is suitable for your needs, please verify the following:
- ✓ Compatibility: Confirm your folding solar charging kit is a 12V Photonic Universe model within the 40W-150W range.
- ✓ Plug Type: Ensure your solar kit has a compatible 50A Anderson-style plug to mate with this cable.
- ✓ Battery Terminals: Check that your battery posts are suitable for 8mm ring terminals.
- ✓ Fuse Rating: Be aware of the 10A fuse rating and ensure it aligns with your solar kit's maximum output current. For kits at the higher end of the 40W-150W range, the 10A fuse may limit output or require replacement with a higher-rated fuse if the kit's maximum current exceeds 10A (e.g., a 150W 12V kit can output up to 12.5A).
Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing system before purchase. Specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer.
