Hello everyone. I was in the process of connecting our new DC-to-DC charger, the Orion xs Smart 12/12-50A. One of the advertised features was its compatibility with 4 AWG (25 mm²) cables. However, I encountered a challenge when attempting to insert all the copper strands into the designated hole due to the tight fit.
The ferrule crimping tool we acquired creates a square crimp, which is incompatible with the hole. We experimented with a 6 AWG ferrule, but it was still too large to fit. I would like to know if anyone else has encountered this issue.
Additionally, I would like to clarify whether the settings on the Orion-xs, should be identical to those on our Victron solar controller. While I assume they should be the same, I understand the potential consequences of making assumptions. I would appreciate any guidance or advice on this matter. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
