6. Operating Instructions
Once the cable is securely connected as described in the Setup section, the charging process is typically managed by your vehicle's onboard system and the charging station. Monitor the charging status indicators on your vehicle and the charging station.
Choosing the Right Cable Length
The 5-meter cable is ideal for situations where your vehicle is parked directly next to the charging station or within a short distance. For longer distances or multiple vehicles, consider 7-meter or 10-meter cables.

Optimizing Charging Power
The actual charging power depends on the capabilities of both your vehicle and the wallbox/charging station. This cable supports up to 7.2kW. If the charging power does not match the cable specifications, please check the maximum power of your car and wallbox.

7. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your charging cable:
- After each use, disconnect the cable from both the vehicle and the charging station.
- Wipe the cable and connectors with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt or moisture.
- Store the cable neatly coiled in its provided carrying bag to prevent tangling and damage. Use the Velcro fastener to secure it.
- Avoid storing the cable in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your charging cable, consider the following:
- No Charging: Ensure both ends of the cable are fully and securely plugged in. Check the power supply to the charging station. Verify that your vehicle's charging port is clean and free of debris.
- Slow Charging: Confirm that the charging power of your vehicle and wallbox matches or exceeds the cable's capacity. The actual output power is limited by the lowest capacity component (car, wallbox, or cable).
- Cable Not an Extension: Remember, this cable is designed to connect directly between the vehicle's charging port and the charging station's port. It cannot be used as an extension lead or connected to other cables.
- Overheating: If the cable feels excessively hot, immediately disconnect it. This could indicate an issue with the charging station, vehicle, or the cable itself. Ensure proper ventilation around the charging area.
