2amp breakers for BabyBox?

I can't seem to find 2amp breakers for this box in the storefront.

http://store.altenergystore.com/Enclosures-Electrical-and-Safety/Electrical-Enclosures/DisconnectLoad-Enclosures/AC-andor-DC/Midnite-Solar-BabyBox-4-Slot-AC-or-DC-Breaker-Panel/p4480/

I'm going to combine 2 of these panels

http://store.altenergystore.com/Solar-Panels/1-to-50-Watt-Solar-Panels/Power-Up-BSP20-12-20W-12V-Solar-Panel/p1024/

and need to know if a 2amp is even available AND if a 2amp breaker will accept the #18awg wire coming from the panels?

thanks

James

According to the specs they accept AWG #6 through to AWG #14. If you can pull the AWG #18 wire out after the screw has been tightened, then just twist another small piece of AWG #18 wire around the exposed tail of your connecter to "fatten" it up before terminating it into the breaker.
