I want to connect the Universal Charging Phone Clamp directly to my motorcycle battery. What do I need?Updated a month ago
To connect the SP Connect Universal Charging Phone Clamp directly to your motorcycle battery, you need the Cable 12V DC.
Why is the Cable 12V DC required?
The supplied Cable USB-A 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 Universal Charging Phone Clamp.
- 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 interrupted when the ignition is switched off.
- This prevents power consumption while the motorcycle is parked.
- This helps protect the motorcycle battery from unnecessary discharge.
Summary
To connect the Universal Charging Phone Clamp directly to a motorcycle battery, you need the SP Connect Cable 12V DC. The supplied USB-A cable is not suitable for this purpose because it does not provide the required voltage conversion. For safe operation and to help prevent unnecessary battery drain, we recommend connecting the Cable 12V DC to a switched ignition power source.
