Couldn't load pickup availability
A 90 cm (3 ft) fused XT60 battery cable designed for clean, reliable connections between batteries, chargers, and XT60-compatible devices (including XT60i). Ideal for portable power stations, permanently installed chargers, and shore power or generator setups where you want safe, automatic charging without repeatedly accessing the battery.
- Clean XT60 disconnect — quick service disconnect without loose clamps or messy wiring
- Inline fuse protection — keeps protection close to the battery where it should be
- Built for installs — M8 ring terminals make semi-permanent or permanent connections easy
- Versatile spare cable — easy to adapt for solar, chargers, or DC loads in a pinch
-
Works with XT60i devices — Most XT60i devices are compatible (incl EcoFlow and Similar)
Expand Portable Power Stations (and solve diesel heater startup issues)
Most portable power stations can accept charging from an XT60 DC input, but many struggle to run high-startup loads (such as diesel heaters) directly from their built-in 12 V outputs. Even if the heater runs fine once started, the initial surge can cause voltage drop or shutdown on some power station ports.
Pairing this cable with an external 12 V battery lets the battery handle diesel heater startup reliably, while the power station charges from the battery via XT60. You get a more capable system with better load handling and more total usable capacity.
- External battery handles high startup current
- Solar can keep the external battery topped up
- Power station charges from the battery through XT60 for a stable input
Want the “budget powerhouse” setup? Add a solar controller + panel to the external battery, and you’ve got a robust, expandable system for minimal cost.
External Battery Chargers (XT60-ready)
This cable is an easy way to create a fused, quick-disconnect charger connection for semi-permanent or permanent installs — great for vans, cabins, and battery banks you don’t want to access every time.
Compatible chargers:
Known good choices for easy connections with the cable. Connect to your battery (or busbars) and make charging easy.
Shore Power & Generator Setups (set it once, forget it)
The idea here is simple: permanently connect your charger to the battery, then connect the charger’s AC input to your shore power circuit (or generator feed). When AC power becomes available, the charger starts automatically — no need to clip on leads, move cables around, or open hard-to-reach compartments.
- Automatically starts charging when shore power is connected
- No fussing with temporary clamps or awkward battery access
- Ideal for batteries under beds, seats, cabinets, or exterior compartments
The XT60 connector makes a clean service disconnect, and the inline fuse keeps protection close to the battery — ideal for semi-permanent and permanent installs.
- MC4 solar input mod: cut the ring terminals and add MC4 ends for solar → power station connections
- Perfect DC jumper: cut the XT60 end off for a tidy controller → battery or battery → DC load jumper
- Emergency spare: a great cable to keep on hand for last-minute system changes and repairs

What is this cable mainly used for?
It creates a fused, quick-disconnect connection between batteries, chargers, and XT60-compatible devices. Common uses include portable power station expansion, permanent charger wiring, and shore power setups.
Will this work with my portable power station?
It works with power stations that support XT60 / XT60i DC input. Always confirm connector polarity and input requirements in your power station documentation before connecting.
Is this compatible with XT60i?
Yes. XT60i is a physically compatible connector. The XT60i connector has a 3rd pin, often used to signal devices regarding how much power they can draw.
For devices using the XT60i connection, your charging/amperage may be automatically limited by the device for safety reasons. This is ok.

How does this help with diesel heaters?
Diesel heaters can draw high startup current. Using an external 12 V battery lets the battery handle startup reliably, while your power station charges from the battery via XT60 instead of trying to run the heater from a limited 12 V port.
Do I need to permanently connect my charger?
No. Permanent installs are a popular use, but this cable is also a handy way to use a charger for portable charging while still being able to quickly and easily connect to batteries installed in hard-to-reach areas.
Just plug into the charger’s XT60 connection, connect to your battery once, and charging becomes quick and painless — without wrestling with clamps or digging into compartments every time.
Can I use this for a “shore power” setup?
Yes. Permanently connect the charger to the battery using this cable, then connect the charger’s AC input to your shore power circuit (or generator feed). When AC power is available, charging starts automatically — no clips, no fuss.
What fuse sizes can I use?
The cable ships with a 30 A ATC/ATO fuse installed. Standard ATC/ATO blade fuses can be used, with up to 40 A maximum recommended.
Can I modify the ends (MC4, different terminals, etc.)?
Yes. Many customers adapt this cable by changing one end (MC4 for solar, different terminals, or creating a clean DC jumper).
If you’re unsure what to change for your setup, contact us and we’ll help you plan it.
I'm charging. Why isn't my battery monitor showing that?
Battery monitors need to be the ONLY thing connected to the battery's negative terminal. If you are charging direct to the battery, you are bypassing the monitor's sensor.
To fix, simply move the charger cable's negative wire to either a busbar or the load side of the shunt (NOT the B- side).
Moving the negative lead should correct the issue. If you still need more help, contact us (and include any details you can)
