2 m

This is a Victron M8 circular-connector cable, a male/female three-pole lead, with a length of 2 m. It comes as a pair in a bag. Its job is to lengthen the communication leads of a BMS. It suits Lithium Smart batteries run with a Smart BMS, and Lithium NG batteries run with an NG BMS. The same cable is also made in 1, 3 and 5 m lengths.

Our take

The 2 m length is meant for extending BMS communication cables, and the bag holds two, so you get a pair of extensions. It is named for Smart BMS and NG BMS setups, so check which battery family you have before fitting it.

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.
