Placing the add-on battery away from the main unit
This 2 m flat cable connects an Ecoflow extra battery to the unit it extends. Its length, more generous than a close-range link, allows you to put the battery on a neighbouring shelf, under a worktop or in a recess, without having to press it against the main unit. Supported models should be checked in the manufacturer’s manual.
What it is for
At home, it helps set up a backup system where space is tight: a cellar, a utility room, a garage. For professional use, it suits a workshop or a fitted trailer, where the extra battery is kept in a separate compartment from the main unit.
Design and features
Two metres of flexibility
The 2 m length leaves room to go around an obstacle or to place the battery in the most convenient direction. The flat format limits the thickness of the cable where it passes, for example under a cupboard door. The data mentions neither the weight, nor the conductor cross-section, nor the maximum voltage or current: look these up in your equipment’s documentation.
What not to expect from it
This cable does not turn a battery into something else: it only provides the physical link between two compatible items. It does not replace a solar charging cable or a mains cable.
Recommended connection
- Stop the main unit and disconnect every power source.
- Place the extra battery on a stable, level surface.
- Unroll the cable without twisting it and plug in one end at a time.
- Secure the cable so that nobody can pull or tread on it.
Connections to the electrical network of the home should be left to a qualified installer.
What speaks for this model
- 2 m length for great freedom of layout.
- Flat profile, useful in narrow passages.
- Ecoflow brand, the same as the battery and unit concerned.

Safety
Do not leave a cable lying in a corridor: it can trip someone and tear out the connectors. Avoid squeezing it under a piece of furniture or a door that closes, as crushing can damage the sheath. Respect the manufacturer’s limits, keep the contacts away from moisture (no waterproofing rating is provided) and let the devices breathe.
Care and storage
Wipe the sheath with a dry cloth and inspect it at the slightest doubt. For storage, lay it flat or coil it in a wide loop, in a dry, mild place away from knocks.
Sizing the link properly
Sketch the position of each item, then measure the real route of the cable, detours included. A link slightly longer than necessary is preferable to a stretched cable, but too much excess simply gets in the way.
