Comments about Solar 4.7mm Combiner Cable:
I got the Combiner and 2 6 ft extension cables to link my 2 Nomad 7's together. I then plug the 4.7mm to female cigarette into the end of the Combiner. I then put a usb cigarette adapter in to charge a phone, ipod, camera, etc. Works very well however when using the 12v port on the Nomad 7, you are using only 4 watts max per panel. Since I'm using 2 panels right now, combined I have 8 watts max charging. I guess that is only 1 watt less than the usb port on the Nomad 7.
I does lessen the recharge time on the Guide 10 Plus.
Very happy with the recommendation of this and the extension cable's from Marion Dyer at Goal Zero's solution center

Comments about Solar 4.7mm Combiner Cable:
I ordered this b/c the documentation on the products at the time was poor, and I couldn't figure out how to connect more than one panel. Now I know they are daisy-chain able and this cable is therefor not necessary for my application.

Q:
Can this product be used to input two solar panels (in series) and a charging cable from a 12-volt battery into an Extreme 350 battery? I am hoping this would allow the Extreme 350 battery to be able to recharge faster.1 answer
A:
This Product can be used to input up to four solar panels and a charging cable from a 12 volt battery into an extreme 350 Battery.Q:
Is this cable only used to daisy chain solar panel's?1 answer
A:
Yes it is only for combining the panels.Q:
So this (4.7mm) is a "12 volt panel cable" and the Nomad "Super Charge" is a "6 volt panel cable". Is that correct?1 answer
A:
This cable can support voltage even upto 36V for a Boulder 15 panel. If your question is if this cable does not work with smaller solar panels then the answer is yes.Q:
Hello there,2 answers
A:
You can chain the Nomad 7 and Nomad 13.5 but they were not designed for this and will not result in a faster charging time for your Sherpa 50. The Nomad 7 comes with a Super Charge Cable that will charge the Sherpa 50 very quickly on its own.
A:
Great Question! We don't recommend chaining the Nomad 7 panel because of all the cables needed to chain it to the Nomad 13.5, but if you have the Sherpa 50 it will come with a 4.7mm to 8mm adapter to help you plug in your Nomad 13.5 panel to it.Q:
I have a Boulder 15 panel and an Escape 150 Power Pack, and I'm planning on purchasing another Boulder 15 panel or two. Would I get a more efficent (faster) charge by daisy chaining the panels or using one of these 4.7mm Combiner Cables?1 answer
A:
It is more effective to chain them than to use the combiner. The combiner will increase over all cord length and this will cause a slightly higher lose of energy. So it is better to chain them directly.Q:
I have two Nomad 13s and a new Sherpa 50. I know I can either chain the two together without this combiner cable, or use the combiner cable. From a charging efficiency point-of-view, are they the same or is one option more efficient? Thanks!1 answer
A:
Using no combiner cable is best. The more cords you have the more energy loss you will experience.Q:
I have a builder 15, a Nomad 7 and am going to buy a Nomad 3.5. Can this cord be used to combine them to get a bit more power to charge an Escape 150 faster?2 answers
A:
Great question! We never recommend chaining the smaller panels together because with all the cables and adapters needed to do that it would not be of any benefit. With all the adapters and cables you would be losing power to distribute from one small panel to another, if it was our bigger panels like the boulders or nomad 13 and bigger then it would be of more worth.A:
The combiner cable can be used to join up to 4 solar panels. Combining panels significantly improves charge time despite any inefficiencies.Q:
I have two Nomad 7 panels, which I am hoping to combine in parallel to power a new Sherpa 50 power pack. I notice that the Super Charging cord on my Guide 10 battery charges the batteries very well from a single Nomad 7. Will I be better off using one Nomad 7 on my Guide 10 and the other Nomad 7 on a new Sherpa 50 battery pack, or using this combining cable to use both Nomad 7s on a new Sherpa 50?1 answer
A:
you can Chain the 2 Nomad 7 panels using the Super Charge cord and then getting a 4.7 extension and us that to attach to the Sherpa 50. Please contact our Solution Center for more information or questions. You can contact us via email at support@goalzero.com or by phone at 1.888.794.6250Q:
Toward what end would one want to connect four panels in parallel? Will this boost the mili amps? or Voltage?1 answer
A:
It will boost the AMPS so it will increase the wattage out put.Q:
Is it possible to connect two different panels (i.e. Nomad 7 and Nomad 13.5) together, and then to connect a 4.7mm charge controller to provide a charge to a 3rd party battery?1 answer
A:
There is no efficient way to chain a Nomad 7. However you can connect the 13.5 to a 4.7mm charge controller and get a trickle charge.Q:
I have a Nomad 13.5 and a Nomad 7. What other cables are needed besides this one, in order to link them together so I can charge my Guide 10 Plus faster?1 answer
A:
The Nomad 7 wasn't designed to be chained. They can be chained but you will not be able to connect them to the guide 10.Q:
I would like to connect 4 Boulder 30's to the Yeti. Do you make a combiner in 30ft?1 answer
A:
We sell an 8.0mm 30ft extension cable, but not a combiner cable. However, you can chain the 4 panels throught the junction box on the back of each panel. Feel free to contact us at support@goalzero.com or at 1-888-794-6250 for more information on different set ups.Q:
Good Day,1 answer
A:
It would plug in to one of our larger (than the Guide 10) battery packs. All manuals can be found by clicking on the 'support' tab on our website.Q:
Can you combine different watt panels with this Combiner ie; Nomad 7 and Boulder 15?1 answer
A:
You can chain most panels directly. This cable could be used to chain the Nomad 7 as the caboose in the chain. Feel free to contact customer service for any specific set ups you are looking to make.Q:
The Solar 4.7 mm combiner cable says that it is compatible with the Nomad 7. Does this mean I can combine up to 4 Nomad 7's to power a batter pack?1 answer
A:
You can use the 4.7mm combiner cable to chain the Nomad 7 solar panels together, however, it's not an efficient way of charging. The Nomad 7 solar panel isn't designed to chain directly. You lose a lot of energy in this set up so you don't end up getting the full power of each Nomad 7 when charged. It's best to use a Nomad 13.5 instead.Q:
hi,1 answer
A:
If I understand you correctly, you are wanting to connect these devices at the same time. The Estrella and the beverage heater would be using the same port, therefore, no, they cannot be plugged in at the same time.Q:
Can this cord really chain multiple nomad 7's together? I thought it would only chain the 4.7mm inputs? Unless it also works with USB?1 answer
A:
The 4.7mm combiner cable can indeed chain 4 Nomad 7s together. You will also need a 6 ft. 4.7mm extension cord for each panel.Q:
I have two Nomad 7 solar panels which I would like to connect in parallel. This seems to be the accessory I need, but I don't understand how it works. Would you please explain how and what I connect this to? Which ports and which cables would I use? Thank you!1 answer
A:
This is the cord that you will need to use. You will also need a 4.7mm extension cable for each Nomad 7. The extension cable connects to the 12v port of the Nomad 7, with the other ending going in to the combiner cable. You can do this with up to 4 Nomad 7 panels. The combiner cable can then go to the Escape 150 battery pack, Sherpa battery packs, or an Extreme 350 battery pack (with the use of another adapter).
Merchant response: Thanks for the feedback.
