Should I replace the OEM SAE connector
I was reading another thread about the OEM 2-pin connector and it sounds like they are not a good idea. I used this connector when I mounted my 200w of panels, I just built a short SAE to MC4 cable and it made the install quite easy.
I had plans to replace it with a conbiner box and thicker wiring when I added more panels but I'm finding the 200w may be enough for me, just got back from a 9 day trip (rained every day) and we never had to use the generator at all.
So should I be concerned, as you can see from the pic mine is installed in the fridge vent but it is convered by the vent cover. I'm more worried about the cover wearing through the wire I think.
