Buy 2 different color 20-24AWG stranded hookup wire from Radio Shack or
other outlet. Length longer than what you really need since twisting
will shorten them. Chuck one end of both wires in your electric drill,
hold on to the other ends ( a vice works well for this), pull tight,
turn on the drill (slowly) .. Voila – twisted pair.
1 AMP slow blows and inline fuse holders are also avaible from the same
outlet. Ask for 3 AG type fuses.

I’ve seen a few monitors in the pictures on the web pages so I hope I
can get some help, The installation guide states:*”you will need a two-wire twisted pair flexible connection cable
(minimum AWG 24/0.2 mm**2) and a three-wire flexible connection cable
(minimum AWG 21/0.4 mm2). Two isolated inline fuse holders with 1 amp
slow blow fuses and some crimp terminals are also required. All these
items are available in the Xantrex Battery Monitor connection kits”***
The kits seem to be over priced $50 for a few feet of wire and two
fuses. But, I can’t find the twisted pair stranded (flexible) wire
that the monitor calls for and the 1 amp slow blow fuses are nowhere
to be found. I was planning to use cat 5 cable for the t/p wire but
it is solid and not stranded. I am still at a loss for the slow blow
1 amp fuses. Once again I hope the experience of this group will have
a possible solution.I know I’m cheap
