A cable (3) for carrying electric current to charge a battery (4) has a thermochromic region (10). The thermochromic region (10) changes colour according to the level of heat produced by current flowing through the cable (3). This provides an indication of the level of current flowing through the cable (3). A light detector (20) may be provided for detecting light reflected by the thermochromic region (10). The light detector (20) has a response that depends on the colour of light reflected by the thermochromic region (10).
