Charger’s cable or connector becomes excessively hot during charging, sometimes with a plastic smell.

Fire risk: Stop using the charger immediately if you notice melting or burning.

• Inspect connector: Look for discoloration, warping, or burn marks on the plug and vehicle inlet. Do not continue using a damaged connector.
• Clean contacts: If only light contamination is present, clean the connector pins with approved electrical contact cleaner and a lint-free swab.
• Reduce current: Temporarily lower the maximum charging current in the ABB settings to reduce heating.
• Replace cable assembly: If there is any sign of melting or persistent overheating, replace the ABB tethered cable and connector assembly.
• Check vehicle inlet: If the vehicle inlet is damaged or loose, have it inspected by the vehicle manufacturer’s service center.
