Manuals

The Victron Battery Indicator Eyelet M8 is an add-on made for Blue Smart IP65 chargers. It combines an M8 eyelet with a 30A ATO fuse. Victron documents it together with the Battery Indicator Panel in a shared PDF. The maker gives no dimensions or other specifications for this part, so check the charger family and the eyelet size against your installation before fitting it.

Our take

The M8 eyelet with a 30A ATO fuse is described as an add-on for Blue Smart IP65 chargers, so confirm your charger is in that family before fitting it. Nothing in the maker's description extends it to other chargers.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
