The Lynx Power In (M10) is a modular DC busbar from Victron for tying batteries into the Lynx DC distribution system. Its busbar is tinned copper, 8mm x 30mm, with M10 connections. It is rated for 1,000 A continuous and works across a 9 to 60 V DC range. The enclosure has an IP22 protection category and weighs 2.1 kg.

Our take

The 1,000 A continuous rating on an 8mm x 30mm tinned copper busbar sets the size of the battery feed into a Lynx system. It is the battery entry point, not a distributor, and the IP22 enclosure rating is the figure to check against where it will be mounted.

From our buying guide

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.

Check before you buy:

  • On a boat subpart I covers, a continuously energized ungrounded terminal needs a boot, nipple, cap, cover or shield.
  • Ignition protection on a charger or switch is the maker's statement, so read what it says and which standard it names.
