There is one male and one female connector. Make sure your batteries are daisy-chained. There should be a male connection at one end and a female at the other end of the battery bank.

20230315-094224.jpgBatteries are daisy chained but the male plug at the end of the extension cable has an external thread and so does the plug that it is suppose to screw on to. Dont make sense.

Does this plug just push in . 20230315-094224.jpg20230315-094323.jpg

The plug also has a silver screw ring to lock the plug / socket together.

Have you undone / backed of the ring before trying to connect??

@JonothanFox

The screw-on threads on the plugs are a bit tight under the heat shrink tubing. Try turning them with gentle force.
