Hi Tony,

The 2m cables are 25mm2 (4AWG) and according to the user manual they are rated for 120A.

Hi

According to this https://voltaconsolar.com/batteries/lithium-ion/pylontech-battery-cables.html

35mm2. I can't physically check my cables as they are in a remote location. But I am 99% sure that it' correct.

Regards

Mikael

No, sorry, Mikael, it's 25 mm². Which is, by the way, way to thin. I have US2000 and on discharging currents of about 90A, the cables start to become warm.

Means, they seem to be a little undersized for a stack of five US2000, which allows even 125A steady current discharge.

Your dealer put the wrong dimension.

Here is another one (Germany):

Update, Just in case someone else needs to know the cable sizes. I've now got my cables, and written on them is 4AWG (25mm)
