I bought 2 6vdc solar panels from a surplus supplier. I want to use them in series to maintain a trickle charge on a 12vdc battery to run 2- 12vdc/100cfm fans. The ad for the panels said they did not come with wires. I assumed they would have solder termination points that I could recognize but alas, they did not. I put a volt-ohm meter on serveral locations along the laminated pieces of the panel and achieved nominal, (under 7 tenths vdc readings and varying in polarity depending on location of probes). What gives, does anyone have any insight as to my next move? Or, as I am beginning to suspect, have I been had? Were these "new" panels rejects because the manufacturer forgot to provide termination points? The only identification I have as to their source is: Auto SunCharger on the fancy plastic snap together case. I have searched on line with the above info, with no success. HELP
