This is a package of five MEGA fuses from Victron Energy, sold as one multi-piece set. Each fuse is rated at 175 A and 80 V, which are the two figures to check against your cable and your battery bank voltage. Victron gives an approximate voltage drop of 110 mV and a cold resistance of 0.282 mΩ for the part, so the loss it adds is stated up front rather than left to guess.
Our take
A cold resistance of 0.282 mΩ with a 110 mV approximate drop means the fuse itself adds only a small, stated loss to the run. The 80 V rating covers battery banks up to that voltage, so check the 175 A rating against the cable it protects.
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.
