DESCRIPTION
Victron Energy Pre-Charge Cable - Safe, Spark-Free DC Start-Up
Controlled Start-Up for Inverters, Chargers, and MPPTs
The Victron Energy Pre-Charge Cable is designed to protect sensitive DC systems by pre-charging the internal capacitors of inverters, inverter/chargers, and MPPT solar charge controllers before the battery is connected. This ensures a smooth and controlled start-up, preventing dangerous arcing or sparking at the connection point. For example, when used with a MultiPlus-II 48/5000, pre-charging takes less than a second. Larger systems may require longer or multiple cables in parallel for full protection.
Prevent Inrush Currents and Extend Equipment Life
Without protection, high inrush currents can damage capacitors, shorten the lifespan of inverters, and strain battery terminals. The Victron Pre-Charge Cable eliminates these risks by safely charging the capacitors through the DC terminals before full connection. This reduces stress on components and ensures long-term reliability, making it especially important for multi-unit inverter setups and large-scale power systems.
Compact, Practical, and Easy to Use
Lightweight yet robust, this cable is a simple but vital accessory for safe energy system installation. Whether used by professional installers or DIY system builders, it offers plug-and-play convenience. Its compact size makes it suitable for caravan solar systems, marine battery banks, industrial DC setups, tiny homes, and off-grid solar projects, where reliable and safe power-up is essential.
Key benefits
- Prevents damaging inrush currents during system start-up
 - Protects inverters, MPPT charge controllers, and inverter/chargers
 - Minimises arcing and sparking at battery terminals
 - Extends the lifespan of critical power system components
 - Suitable for small, medium, and large DC power systems
 
Versatile Applications Across DC Power Systems
From single inverter/charger units to larger Quattro and MultiPlus-II configurations, the Pre-Charge Cable supports safe and controlled system start-up. In larger installations, several pre-charge cables can be used in parallel, allowing multiple units to be pre-charged and connected safely. By reducing arcing during connection, this accessory not only prevents damage but also reduces ongoing maintenance needs.

Victron Energy Limited Warranty Policy
Victron Energy warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 66 months from the Victron Energy invoice date. Exceptions on this are: lead acid batteries; 2 years from date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 30 months from the Victron Energy invoice date, Lithium-ion batteries; 3 years from date of purchase by the end user. In addition to this proof of correct battery usage is required when making a battery warranty claim.
During this period, Victron Energy will, at its option, repair or replace the defective product free of charge. The warranty does not include performing or reimbursing de‐installation, transportation and re‐installation. This warranty will be considered void if the unit has suffered any physical damage or alteration, either internally or externally, and does not cover damages arising from improper use like: • Reverse of battery polarity. • Inadequate connection. • Mechanical shock or deformation. • Contact with liquid or oxidation by condensation. • Use in inappropriate environment (dust, corrosive vapor, humidity, high temperature, biological infestation...). • Breakage or damage due to lightning. • Connection terminals and screws destroyed or other damages, like overheat, due to insufficient tightening. • For any electronical breakage except due to lightning (reverse polarity, over‐voltage due to external cause), the state ofthe internal control diode and of the inputs/output X and Y capacitors determine the warranty.
This warranty will not apply where the product has been misused, neglected, improperly installed, or repaired by anyone else than Victron Energy or one of its authorized Qualified Service Partners. In order to qualify for the warranty, the product must not be disassembled or modified.
Repair or replacement are our sole remedies and Victron Energy shall not be liable for damages, whether direct, incidental,special, or consequential, even caused by negligence or fault.
