How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: A failed strain relief can lead to internal conductor breakage or shorts.

  • 1. Stop using the charger:
    • Unplug from mains and vehicle.
  • 2. Inspect movement:
    • If the cable can be pulled in and out of the housing, internal connections may already be stressed.
  • 3. Do not attempt DIY clamping:
    • External clamps or tape will not secure internal conductors properly.
  • 4. Service or replacement:
    • Contact NRGkick support; the strain relief and possibly the cable assembly must be professionally replaced.
