The Go Power! 600 mm Advanced Lithium Battery Data Cable Reaches Between Larger or Spaced-Out Batteries So Your Whole Bank Stays Connected
The Go Power! 600 mm Advanced Lithium Battery Data Cable (GP-ADV-BC-600) carries RV-C communication from one Go Power! Sun Cycle Advanced Lithium battery to the next. It's 600 mm (about 24 in) long, the longer of Go Power's two inter-battery harnesses.
Go Power's 300Ah Advanced Lithium quick start guide lists it as the 300Ah Battery Inter-Connect Cable, and Go Power's page says it also fits the 100Ah Advanced Lithium battery when the batteries are spaced apart.
Go Power! 600 mm Advanced Lithium Battery Data Cable Features
Keeps Every Battery in the Conversation
Linked Advanced Lithium batteries use their RV-C ports to coordinate cell balancing. The master battery gathers data from the others and reports the bank over Bluetooth and RV-C, so the Go Power! Connect app and a PowerTrak display can show the bank as one battery.
Extra Reach for the 300Ah Case
The 300Ah Advanced Lithium battery is a much larger case than the 100Ah, at 19.6 x 14.9 in. Go Power recommends the 600 mm cable when there's a gap between batteries or the batteries are larger.
Plugs Into Either RV-C Port
Go Power says either of a battery's two RV-C ports works for a battery-to-battery cable, as long as it joins two batteries on the bus.
Real-World Applications
Multi-battery 300Ah banks. Link up to eight 300Ah batteries in parallel so the bank balances and reports as one.
Spaced-out installs. Bridge a gap between 100Ah Advanced Lithium batteries that aren't side by side.
Practical Comparison
600 mm Data Cable Versus the 400 mm Data Cable
Go Power's comparison lists the GP-ADV-BC-600 at 24 in (600 mm) for longer runs and the GP-ADV-BC-400 at 16 in (400 mm) for short runs between side-by-side batteries. Measure from one battery's data port to the next and choose the length that reaches.
Buyer Guidance
Count Your Cables and Terminators
Go Power's communication cable guidelines call for one battery-to-battery cable fewer than the number of batteries, so three batteries need two cables. When the batteries only talk to each other, put a terminating resistor on the first and last battery. When the bank connects to a PowerTrak display or another RV-C network through the system connection cable, you need just one terminating resistor, at the far end. Turn every battery off before connecting the cables, then wake one battery to turn on the bank and configure it in the app or on the PowerTrak display.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You're linking 300Ah Advanced Lithium batteries
- Your batteries have a gap between them
- The 400 mm cable won't reach
Common Questions
Will It Work With My AGM Batteries?
No. Go Power says standard lithium and AGM batteries have no data port. This cable is only for Sun Cycle Advanced Lithium batteries.
Do I Need a Shunt for State of Charge?
No. Go Power says Advanced Lithium batteries send state of charge over RV-C, so the shunt is unnecessary.
How Many Do I Need for Two Batteries?
One. The guidelines call for one battery-to-battery cable fewer than the number of batteries.

Longer Reach for a Connected Bank
The Go Power! 600 mm Advanced Lithium Battery Data Cable links larger or spaced-out Advanced Lithium batteries so they balance together and report as a single bank. If you'd like help planning the cables and terminators for your battery layout, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
