This Victron cable connects a battery with CAN-bus communication from another maker to a Victron system. It is the type B cable, 1,8 m long. There are two cable types, A and B, and which one you need depends on the brand of battery. Victron's manual says which cable goes with which brand, so check it before choosing between them.

Our take

This is the type B cable of a pair, A and B, so matching it to your battery brand in the manual comes before anything else. It is meant for CAN-bus batteries from other makers, and the 1,8 m length is part of its name.

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.
