A pack of five MIDI fuses from Victron Energy, each rated at 80 A and 32 V. Those two ratings are the numbers to match against your cable size and your system voltage. Victron lists an approximate voltage drop of 60 mV and a cold resistance of 0.55 mΩ for the part, so the small loss it adds to the circuit is spelled out in the maker's own data.

Our take

The 32 V rating is the ceiling for this MIDI fuse, so check that your system voltage stays below it. Its approximate voltage drop is listed as 60 mV and its cold resistance as 0.55 mΩ, which is the loss it adds to the circuit.

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.
