That proves there is resistance, causing the voltage drop and associated power loss in the form of heat. Let's say there is 30A charge current and 1.6V drop - that would be 48 watts. There is a bad connection within the cable - either between the conductors and terminal, or a break in conductors. I don't know the failure mechanism, but a logical guess would be conductors to battery terminal.

You need a new cable. Good troubleshooting.
