How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Damaged insulation can expose live conductors. Do not continue using a visibly degraded cable.
- Inspect full length: Examine the entire output charging cable assembly for cracks, splits, or discoloration, especially near the connector and strain relief.
- Check flexibility: Gently bend the cable; if the jacket cracks or feels brittle, it must be replaced.
- Improve storage: Store the cable on a proper hook or reel, out of direct sunlight and away from sharp edges.
- Replace cable: Install a new Zencar-compatible output charging cable assembly with the correct rating and connector type.
