Usage Guidance & Tips
Use only with Type-2 Mode 3 charge points rated 13–16 A. Keep the box closed while in use and avoid exceeding your charger’s rated output. Ideal for temporary outdoor power — from Christmas displays to summer garden parties.
Tip from the MotorCables team: When testing or fitting, don’t remove the outer cover screws too far — you might lose the tiny rubber washers that seal the unit and keep it watertight. That’s why we test them.
