MC4 to battery post cable?
Hi, I have the Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Foldable Solar Suitcase, can someone tell me where to buy (URL?) a cable to swap out the alligator clip connectors to O-rings style battery ...

Thanks.
I saw those, I would have to cut them off an add mc4 connectors on the other end. The Renogy rep said 12-14 awg wire, so is 10 okay?
I don't have a mc4 crimping tool either. That's why I was after a pre-made cable. But if it's easy I could go that route.
10 gauge is fine, keep the run as short as possible from the charge , controller to the battery, to prevent voltage drop, which would then charge your battery less than properly.
Thanks. I guess I can just run it as long as they have it now (mc4 to alligator clips).
