I have the solar charger product 390 and the solar pannel product 200. The dc jack on the pannel is 3.8mm and the jack on the charger is 5.?mm (larger). is there a jack size converter that go between the two? Also should I be using this pannel with this charger (does the fact that the jacks are different sizes tell me that they are not matched?)
Is there a recomended pannel for this charger that has the same jack size?
Thanks

Re: Solar Charger & Pannel Matchup
Electrically it is compatible with the charger. Unfortunately, the manufacturer only supplies them with a plug size different from all our other power supplies.
The simplest way to connect it is to cut off the 3.8mm plug and replace it with one of these: https://www.adafruit.com/products/369
