Would this also work for the anker solix c300? Looks the same on the battery side. Is the panel side proprietary or standard?

Should be standard, MC4 connectors.

:-) I just checked for my own C300. Yes ecoflow uses standard MC4 connectors and you do want a XT60i at the other end. 99.9% sure I am right ordering one myself.

Be careful

Ecoflow has turned all their cables into kind of smart cables .

Ecoflow shorts the 3 third pin to negative that signals the "solar generator" to charge at 13 or 15 amps (aka XT60i to mc4)

Ecoflow shorts the 3 third pin to positive that signals the "solar generator" to limited itself to 8 amp charging (aka XT60i to 12v cigarette)

There are plenty of Amazon reviews on generic XT60i cables that charge ecoflow products slow - people think XT60i connector has a standard to short to third pin (it doesn't ) - it's ecoflow brain child .

You are absolutely correct! Be aware you can fix this via a jumper wire and some YouTube instructions though in case you're stuck with an older/cheaper one.

I am little confused. What third wire. You only have two wires on solar pannel. A +ve and -ve. Are you saying the ecoflow has a third point, if you short it to +be it charges differently and if you short it to -ve it behaves differently and with no charge it behaves differently.

I have been needing a short lead of MC4 connectors as inputs for my inverter. Anyone see an issue with just cutting the XT60 end off, aside from having ~8 feet excess. This price with free shipping seems great.
Edit: This is 14AWG and I was looking for 10AWG.

Bought this last time for $10. Box was previously opened and taped up which seemed like a concern, but the cable in the plastic bag seemed new.

Two wires to the panel aka the MC4 connectors. But there is an addition pin in the XT side.

Just buy XT60i's like this one, there are 3rd party ones but it gets you full power. If you absolutely need to you can get xt60 to xt60i adapters. This is a good deal for a name brand cable.

XT60i (not xt60) connectors have a third pin (between the 2 big ones in the connector ) - ecoflow connects that pin to positive telling the solar generator not to take more than 8 amps (typical in a 12v cigarette to XT60i) so it doesn't overheat a car's wiring

Yes - depends what the solar generator sees - if it's positive voltage on the third pin it's will not accept more than 8 amps

Yes - it would be better to get the same MC4 connector brand that is used on the inverter - mixing mc4 connector brands on high voltage / high amps have been causing fires . It's in everyone's manuals .

The YouTube guys have being checking tolerances on mixing connectors and some are really sloppy .

Another 1.50 off when it was front page last week. Not worth returning though

you have to be careful, ecoflow has a XT60i cable that has it limited to 10amps - make sure this isnt the one like that! (they shipped that type with the delta2's). sorry it was the car battery XT60i car that did that)
