Where to buy
The Victron Energy MagCode Power Port comes in a 12 V version rated for a maximum of 15 A. Victron's part number for this one is BPC900520014, which is how to tell it apart from other versions of the range. The two figures, 12 V and 15 A, are the ones to match against your wiring and the load it will carry. Victron also gives a 5-year standard warranty and a global repair service for its products.
Our take
The 15 A maximum on the MagCode Power Port 12V sets the ceiling for whatever runs through it. Add up the current of everything you plan to connect and keep the total under that figure on your 12 V system.
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.
