Possible Causes

Standard PVC jacket not rated for low temperatures, Aging cable material, Storage in tightly coiled position

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Forcing a stiff cable can cause internal conductor breakage.

  • 1. Warm the cable: If possible, move the cable to a warmer area before use or allow it to acclimate to indoor temperature.
  • 2. Avoid tight bends: Do not sharply bend or twist the cable when it is cold and stiff.
  • 3. Improve storage: Store the cable loosely coiled on a hook, not tightly wrapped, to reduce stress.
  • 4. Consider cold-rated replacement: If you regularly charge in very cold climates, replace the cable with a Primecom or compatible cable rated for low-temperature flexibility.
