What are the 4 other copper cells for? Would I solder the wires on the labeled + and - cells?

There are copper point to solder to. They are marked with - and +. Don't worry they are tuff and easy to work with. I bought 2 and wired them in parallel and put them in full sunlight and did not get nowhere near 500mAh with both. It should have been at 1 amp or 1000 mAh. They are sitting right now. I will use them but I thought I must have wired them wrong because there was such little power.

The package I received only had the LEDs. Each LED has about a one inch lead on it, so you'll need to find a way to secure them to the battery (probably at least a 9v). If you have a little soldering experience, it's pretty simple to attach a bit of wire. Don't forget the polarity. The flat side of the base of the LED indicates the negative polarity.

there is an input + and an input - those connect to the power source, the output + and - connect to the load or whatever you are supplying power to.you can connect through the solder hole and/or with the blue screw terminal.

We do not include it. We use only high quality new cells that have negligible nighttime current loss. More power is lost across the diode.If you still want one contact us and we will send it for free. rich j

It is those thin pieces of metal sticking out to each side. I slide the wire through those little holes then apply the solder. The + & - are a bit confusing. What I have found is ....if the LED is laying flat with the + in the right hand corner near you, then the + terminal is on the side opposite you. If you hook it up backwards.....it just won't work, but no damage. Make sure it is heat sinked with thermal grease......otherwise it will burn itself out in just a couple seconds.

Yes, + and - signals. One wire has Monster Marking on it the other has no markings

You can order short wires that have MC4 on one end and use these or strip the wires of the MC4 connectors. This box has only screw/clamp terminals. Normally there would be a significant distance to cover between the CC and the panels so usually have a normal run of two conductors between SP(s) and CC.

Yes 4 d cell but they hardly ever need replaced if you don't use the fan or speakers. Use the fan and speakers and it will eat batteries in a hurry. Get an adapter if you plan to use those.

You can check out the transceiver options here http://www.zyxel.com/us/en/products_services/transceiver_series.shtml?t=p The transceivers are really expensive so I just teamed three copper ports together on mine.

Yes although I would opt for the serial interface version.i had to add that on, and it's not bad practice for soldering but you can get it presoldered for less than buying the serial interface and display together. Serial interface will allow fewer pins used and easier addressing in the code.

SK7's answer is very good. Also be sure there is ample bare copper wire inside the wire nuts (to make good contact wire to wire) and that they are screwed tight.

Thank you for quick answer. Also a second question, would this solder be good for long uses? And where would be a good site to look up, and learn the proper care for these tools?

It is not solid copper. What it is, many small copper copper wires are wound to together.

The individual wires are solid copper. I know this for an absolute fact as I not only punched down to a block, but also put an RJ45 head on the other side so I got a good look at the pairs. Hope that helps.

Do not get any Duracell NiMH cells without the 'Copper-top' band. Those are the older versions of ordinary NiMH cells. They are often priced higher because they have higher capacity (such as '2650mAh') specified. So most people who don't know about rapid self-deischarge problem will just reach for those junk.

Connectors are a hit our miss, so soldering is the way to go. Cut the strips the size you want then scratch a small area with a razor knife down to the copper base then put a dab of flux on that area and add a dab of solder with a hot soldering iron. This is called tinning. Do the same to the wire that you are using then take the iron without adding more solder and touch both together.
