I'm new to the forum. Hello!
I'm new to solar power, and I've just bought a Eco-Worthy 120w solar panel and also a Anker Portable Power Station 521, 256Wh portable generator. I've mainly bought them to power some lighting in a shed, and also get into solar and learn more. But, I'm not exactly sure how to connect the two together, and obviously I'm cautious, as I don't want to damage either.
According to a question answered by Anker themselves on Amazon UK's website, the Anker Power Station has a MPPT feature, which I believe allows me to connect the solar panel directly to the Anker? So would I be a right to assume I don't also need to buy some sort of solar charge controller?
So if that's right, I think I just need a cable. The Eco-Worthy has two cables coming out the back, with some fairly chunky connectors on each, one plug, one socket, which I assume are pretty standard. The Anker has a DC in connector at the back.
So, hopefully the forum won't mind me posting Amazon links, but is this cable all I need to connect the two together?:

Thanks for any help!
