Renogy 100 watt kits (not suticase)
Does anyone know if the 100w kits from renogy have the cables that connect to the batteries? I may be overlooking it, but when I look at the kits online, I see where they have teh panel, a controller ...

I have the 100 watt suitcase and looked carefully at the 100 watt kit. I even called Renogy about it. The kit only comes with 1.5mm (15awg) cables to the controller. No cables are provided for the controller to the battery. They do have some for sale, they are in a set of two separate wires, 16 feet in both 10 and 12awg.
The bundle kit does comes with a less expensive 30amp controller instead of the more expensive 10 amp controller in the suitcase. The Expensive 10 amp controller can only take 12awg+ and the 30amp controller can take 10amp +wire. That's a plus for using 10awg cable from the controller to the battery. And you can expand panels with that 30amp controller too!
Good luck!
FYI, I found the 100 watt to be just under what I need daily of 30-40amps and bought an additional 30 watt panel to boost my amps. Remember it's only going to max at 5.29 amps and if you have anything load on during the charging it takes away. I have .6amps being drawn from the fridge and parasitic other stuff all the time. That drops it a lot, that's why I got the additional 30 watt panel.
