How do I connect the Charging Module directly to my motorcycle battery?Updated a month ago
To connect the SP Connect Charging Module directly to your motorcycle battery, you will need the Cable 12V DC.
Why do I need the Cable 12V DC?
The Cable USB-C included with the Charging Module is designed exclusively for connection to a suitable USB power source.
- It does not contain a voltage converter.
- It cannot convert the motorcycle's onboard voltage to the voltage required by the Charging Module.
- The Cable 12V DC is therefore required for a direct connection to the motorcycle battery.
Recommended installation
We recommend connecting the Cable 12V DC to a switched ignition power source.
- The power supply is automatically disconnected when the ignition is switched off.
- This prevents power consumption while the motorcycle is parked.
- This helps prevent unnecessary drain on the motorcycle battery.
Summary
To connect the Charging Module directly to a motorcycle battery, you need the SP Connect Cable 12V DC. The included USB-C cable is not suitable for this purpose because it does not provide the required voltage conversion. For safe operation and to prevent unnecessary battery drain, we recommend connecting the Cable 12V DC to a switched ignition power source.
