H07V-K battery cable, 1x16mm² – sold by the metre

A reliable electrical connection for your solar installation

The Wattuneed H07V-K 1x16mm² battery cable is an essential component for ensuring the safe transfer of energy between your storage batteries and your power components, such as inverters or MPPT charge controllers. In a photovoltaic installation, the quality of the cabling determines not only the overall efficiency of the system, but also the safety of the infrastructure against the risk of overheating.

Technical specifications of the H07V-K 16mm² cable

This cable is manufactured to the H07V-K standard, guaranteeing a rated voltage of 450/750V. It consists of a multi-strand bare copper core (class 5), which gives it great flexibility. This flexibility is a major advantage when wiring in protective enclosures or narrow battery compartments, allowing for a reduced bending radius without compromising the integrity of the conductor.

• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm², sized to withstand significant currents whilst limiting voltage drops.
• Insulation: High-quality PVC sheath, resistant to moderate mechanical stress and flame propagation.
• Operating temperature: Withstands operating temperatures of up to 70°C under continuous load.

Applications and compatibility of Wattuneed cabling

The 16mm² cable is particularly recommended for small and medium-power solar installations. It is ideal for connecting lead-acid batteries (AGM, Gel) or lithium storage systems where the discharge currents correspond to the permissible capacities of this cross-section. You can use it for connecting batteries in parallel or for connecting to a voltage converter.

It is compatible with all Wattuneed connection accessories, in particular crimp-on tubular terminals of the appropriate diameter, thus ensuring a perfect and durable electrical connection. This cable meets the requirements for fixed indoor installations, whether for off-grid sites or grid-connected systems with storage.

Installation and safety advice

To ensure the longevity of your solar installation in France or Belgium, Wattuneed recommends the use of appropriate protection, such as fuses or DC circuit breakers, sized according to the cable cross-section and the maximum current of your energy source. Be sure to use professional crimping tools to attach the terminals to the ends of the H07V-K 16mm² cable, thereby avoiding any contact resistance that could cause localised overheating.
