The 35mm Battery Cable is a heavy-duty copper conductor for linking lithium batteries to hybrid inverters in South African solar setups. It’s the cable homeowners, farmers, and factory owners use to carry high current safely between battery banks and inverters. If you’re building a loadshedding backup system, this is the link that keeps power flowing when Eskom cuts out.
Key Benefits of the 35mm Battery Cable
- Pure copper core keeps voltage drop low on battery runs.
- Flexible stranded build makes routing inside cabinets easier.
- Handles current loads common to 5kW and 8kW inverters.
- Insulation rated for safe indoor battery cabinet installs.
- Stocked locally with warranty cover for peace of mind.
What’s Included in the Box
- One length of 35mm Battery Cable as ordered.
- Standard factory insulation already fitted to the conductor.
- Product info sheet for installer reference.
- Crimp lugs available as a separate add-on item.
Compatibility With Inverters and Batteries
This cable pairs with most popular hybrid inverter and lithium battery brands sold in South Africa. It suits 5kW to 8kW single-phase hybrid inverters and 48V lithium battery banks. You can also use it for parallel battery links inside a cabinet. Always match the cable size to your inverter’s recommended amperage rating.
- Works with 48V lithium battery banks from major suppliers.
- Suits 5kW and 8kW hybrid inverters on single-phase systems.
- Pairs with our battery cable range for full system wiring.
- Fits standard M8 and M10 battery terminal lugs.
Is It Good for Stage 6 Loadshedding
Yes, the 35mm Battery Cable carries enough current to keep a home running through stage 6 loadshedding. It handles the sustained draw from a 5kW hybrid inverter during evening peaks. That means fridges, lights, Wi-Fi, and a TV stay on when Eskom drops the grid. Energy independence starts with cabling sized for real loads.
Common Use Cases Across South Africa
- Homes in Gauteng running hybrid backup through loadshedding.
- Smallholdings near Vanderbijlpark powering pumps off-grid.
- Shops in Cape Town keeping tills live during power cuts.
- Factories in Durban linking three-phase battery banks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a 35mm Battery Cable used for?
A. It links your lithium battery bank to your hybrid inverter. The thick copper core carries high current safely during loadshedding backup use.
Q. Is 35mm cable big enough for a 5kW inverter?
A. Yes, 35mm copper suits most 5kW and 8kW single-phase hybrid inverters. Always confirm the amperage rating in your inverter’s manual first.
Q. Does the cable come with lugs fitted?
A. No, lugs are sold separately so you can match them to your battery and inverter terminals. We stock compatible crimp lugs in-store.
Q. Is this cable safe for indoor battery cabinets?
A. Yes, the insulation is rated for indoor solar cabinet use. Keep runs short and tidy to reduce voltage drop and heat.
