1m 25mm Batt. Cable with 2xM8 Ring Terminals - Red
L & C Walsh 1m 25mm Batt. Cable with 2xM8 Ring Terminals - Red
1m 25mm Batt. Cable with 2xM8 Ring Terminals - Red is a battery cable — 25 mm², 1 m, positive polarity for the connection between a battery and an inverter.
Battery cable is not ordinary cable. The DC side of a storage system runs at low voltage and high current, so conductor size is set by current and by acceptable voltage drop rather than by the load in watts, and the connection has to survive years of thermal cycling without the termination loosening. Undersized or badly terminated battery cable is one of the few faults in a solar installation that can start a fire rather than simply stop working.
Which is why these are sold as made-up assemblies of a stated length and polarity: the manufacturer has already decided the conductor size, the terminal and the crimp for the battery it belongs to.

This is a made-up assembly rather than a catalogue cable, so the manufacturer does not publish a separate datasheet for it. The conductor size, terminals and crimps are chosen by the manufacturer for the battery it belongs to. Ask us if you need a figure that is not listed here and we will get it from them rather than guess.

Any datasheets and manuals we hold are in the Documents tab below. See the rest of our battery cable range and our batteries, or contact our sales team at sales@clearraysolar.com if you are not sure which set your battery takes.
Usable energy is the nominal capacity multiplied by the depth of discharge, and both figures are in the Technical Specifications. Most current lithium batteries allow 90% or more.
It needs to appear on your inverter manufacturer's approved battery list and the voltage ranges have to match. Send us your inverter model and we'll confirm compatibility before you order.
Most systems stack in modules up to a maximum number of units per installation, given in the datasheet. Keep to the same model, and buy the full stack together where budget allows.
Only where the IP rating and operating temperature range allow it - both are in the Technical Specifications. Cold reduces usable capacity, so a garage or utility space is usually the better location.
Yes, where the inverter supports timed or forced charging. Paired with a time-of-use tariff this is often the quickest route to a shorter payback.
Warranty terms, and the throughput or cycle count they are based on, are listed under the Warranty tab and in the manufacturer documentation.
