The connectors
| DC7909 | A round barrel plug, 7.9 mm across with a 0.9 mm pin. It looks almost the same as DC8020, but the two are not interchangeable. Makers rate these up to 14 A. |
|---|---|
| DC8020 | A round barrel plug, 8.0 mm across with a 2.0 mm pin. Jackery's current panels and newer stations use it. Makers rate these up to 14 A. |
| XT60 | A two-pin power plug, the common solar input on EcoFlow, Bluetti and Anker SOLIX stations. Cables from MC4 panels usually end in it. Makers rate these up to 25 A. |
| XT60i | An XT60 with a small third signal pin. EcoFlow uses that signal to tell car charging from solar. Makers rate these up to 35 A. |
| XT90 | A larger two-pin power plug used on Bluetti AC200-series solar cables. |
| Anderson | A genderless, color-keyed power plug family. Jackery's SolarSaga 100 Prime and 500 X panels use it. Makers rate these up to 45 A. |
| MC4 | The standard solar panel plug. Almost every rigid panel and many portable panels end in MC4 leads. Makers rate these up to 30 A. |
| Aviation plug | A round locking multi-pin plug that Bluetti uses on some larger stations. |
XT60 vs XT60i and DC7909 vs DC8020 are the two plugs people mix up most. MC4 connectors explained.
