Hv charger cable mm

[asti1488]

Hi I have an ohme charger with an 8 metre tethered cable. When charging is it better to uncoil all the cable or can some be left coiled around the charger . Would the coiled cable overheat like a coiled extension cable, or even damage the charger. I'm a newbie and haven't charged a car yet !

Are there any guidelines / instructions on using your Ohme charger?

As long as the cable lies flat along the ground so it doesn't act as a tripwire I very much doubt the remaining cable could be wrapped tight enough to overheat.

The ohme charger booklet doesn’t mention coiled cables but other chargers say it’s ok as the cables can carry 32 amps may get warm but not enough to damage charger. Extension leads are more tightly coiled and can overheat if overloaded . So I think I’ll be fine , just a newbie panicking !
