Can I use the Cable 6V DC with an e-bike that has a 36 V or 48 V system voltage?Updated 3 months ago
Yes. The SP-Connect Cable 6V DC can be used with e-bike systems that have a 36 V or 48 V system voltage.
The e-bike's system voltage is not present at the motor's accessory or low-voltage output. Instead, depending on the manufacturer and model, this output provides a regulated 6 V or 12 V output voltage. This output voltage is what determines which cable you need.
Which cable do I need?
Before connecting the cable, please check the following:
- What output voltage does your motor's accessory or low-voltage output provide?
→ 6 V or 12 V - Are any other electrical devices connected?
→ For example, a front or rear light connected to the same output
| Motor output voltage | Compatible cable |
|---|---|
| 6 V output | SP-Connect Cable 6V DC |
| 12 V output | SP-Connect Cable 12V DC |
| Bosch Low Power Port (LPP) | SP-Connect Bosch LPP E-Bike Cable |
How does the Cable 6V DC work?
The SP Connect Cable 6V DC features an integrated voltage converter and is specifically designed for use with the SP-Connect Charging Module, the SP-Connect Charging Anti Vibration Module, and the SP-Connect Universal Charging Phone Clamp. Together, the cable and charging solution ensure that the output voltage from the e-bike drive system is reliably regulated to provide the charging voltage required by your smartphone.
Summary
The 36 V or 48 V system voltage of your e-bike is not relevant for the SP Connect Cable 6V DC, as the accessory or low-voltage output only provides a regulated 6 V or 12 V output voltage. The only factor that matters when choosing the correct cable is the output voltage of this connection.
