Charging Cable and Charging Connector
When you cannot drive to a public charging station due to low battery, you can charge the car by using the Portable Charging Cable (ICCB: In Cable Control Box)
-
This cable is designed to prevent problems caused by unexpected battery discharge and when you use general outlets, it may lead to excessive electricity charges as the electricity charges for electric vehicles will not be applied. So refrain from using it to fully charge your car.
-
If this cable is connected to a household power source, it may exceed the capacity of the distributor, resulting in safety problems such as electrical shutdown and fire.
How to Set the Charge Level of the Portable Charger (Type A)
-
Check the outlet’s current rating before connecting the plug to the outlet.
-
Connect the power plug to the household electrical outlet.
-
Check the status of the control box display.
-
Adjust the charging current by pressing the button (1) on the back of the control box for more than 1 second. (Refer to More Details.)
-
Each time the button (1) is pressed, the control box display is sequentially changed to 12A, 10A and 8A.(*1,*2)
-
Once the charging current setting is complete, start charging according to Trickle Charge procedure.
*1: MAX 10A: 10A, 8A, 6A*2: MAX 8A: 8A, 7A, 6A
