The Original Poster made referral to his 'Portable Panel. I doubt all the concerns over voltage drop through a connector for a 100 or 200W panel is going to be significant loss under any circumstances. Further, I stand behind my recommendation for not using Anderson Power Pole connectors for this situation. They are simply not that physically robust or weatherproof. The Zamp 2 pin connectors would be the better choice.
the Zamp connectors are not very weatherproof either, nor are they that robust. They look weatherproof but they are not, at least when I tried them. if current is less 10 amps the Zamp wil probably work ok.
By the time you start pushing even 10A through the Zamp connector it will start to get noticeably warm, indicating noticeable resistance.
The anderson is way more physically robust, but I agree not weatherproof.
