The SP Connect 12V DC Cable is designed to provide power to your SPC+ charger from your vehicle's battery. To prevent battery drainage, it is critical to connect the cable to an ignition-switched power source rather than a constant power source. If you are unsure about the electrical installation, please visit an authorized workshop to avoid voiding your vehicle's warranty.
Safety Warnings
- Battery Drain: Connect only to ignition positive (not steady positive) to ensure the charger does not draw power when the vehicle is off.
- Long-term storage: Unplug the charger if the vehicle will not be used for an extended period.
- Professional Installation: To ensure your vehicle's warranty remains valid, have the cable installed by a professional.
- Usage: Use at your own risk. The manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from misuse.
