3 m

This is Victron's M8 circular connector cable with a male and a female end and three poles, 3 m long and supplied as a bag of 2. It is used to lengthen the BMS communication cables. It works with Lithium Smart batteries paired with a Smart BMS, and between Lithium NG batteries paired with an NG BMS. The same cable range also comes in 1, 2 and 5 m lengths.

Our take

A 3 m M8 cable with a male and a female end lengthens the BMS communication run, for Lithium Smart batteries with a Smart BMS or Lithium NG batteries with an NG BMS. The bag holds 2, enough for two extensions.

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.
