This pre-charging prevents large in-rush currents that can cause arcing between the cable and DC terminals on initial connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pre-charge time is typically very fast, e.g. less than a second for a Multiplus-II 48\/5000 inverter\/charger. Larger systems will take longer to pre-charge and the largest system intended for use with a single pre-charge cable is a 3-unit system with Multiplus-II or Quattro-II. For larger systems, several pre-charge cables can be used in parallel, or individual units can be pre-charged and connected to the battery one at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pre-charge cable has crocodile clips for connection between the positive terminal of a battery and the positive terminal of the unit to be pre-charged. It features LED indicators that show the charging state (yellow LED ON when pre-charging, OFF when complete) and warn if polarity is reversed (red LED ON). The pre-charge current is 0.5A max and it is recommended to remove the cable after pre-charging is complete to prevent unnecessary power draw, as it will continue to draw a small current if left connected. Final battery connection should be carried out immediately after pre-charging has finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for 12V, 24V, or 48V systems (max. voltage 70V)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVoltage rating:\u003c\/b\u003e 70V DC max.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePre-charging current:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5A max.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTotal length:\u003c\/b\u003e 500mm approx.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54746897744209,"sku":"P04510","price":31.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/8731\/0929\/files\/vICTRON-eNERGY-PRE-CHARGE-CABLE.png?v=1788172248","url":"https:\/\/craftycamper.co.uk\/products\/victron-energy-pre-charge-cable-for-inverters-inverterchargers-mppt-controllers","provider":"Crafty Camper","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
