Manuals

The Victron Battery Indicator Panel displays the state of charge of a battery. It is meant as an add-on for Blue Smart IP65 chargers, and it is named with an M8 eyelet connector and a 30 A ATO fuse. Victron lists it as suitable for 12 V lead acid batteries, covering flooded, GEL and AGM types. Its part number is BPC900110114.

Our take

The state-of-charge display on this panel is listed for 12 V lead acid batteries, flooded, GEL or AGM, and it is meant as an add-on for Blue Smart IP65 chargers. Those two statements define where it belongs: a 12 V lead acid bank run with one of those 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.
