The Victron M8 eyelet connector with 30A ATO fuse is a direct-connect accessory for Blue Power IP65 chargers. It bolts onto a battery terminal or busbar using a standard M8 fixing, giving a fixed, low-resistance connection in place of the crocodile clips or loose cable ends supplied as standard.

Key features

• Terminal type, M8 eyelet for direct bolted connection to a battery terminal or busbar.
• Fuse protection, integrated 30A ATO blade fuse on the output lead.
• Compatibility, designed as an accessory for Victron Blue Power IP65 chargers.
• Weight, 70g, suitable for tight battery compartments.
• Fuse format, standard ATO blade, widely available for replacement.

Product overview

This lead replaces the crocodile clip leads supplied with Blue Power IP65 chargers. The M8 eyelet bolts directly onto a terminal stud or busbar, which suits installations where the charger stays connected for long periods: vehicles, boats and static battery banks all benefit from a fixed connection rather than a clip that can loosen or corrode.

The 30A ATO fuse sits in the lead itself and protects the wiring if a fault occurs. Because it uses the standard automotive ATO blade format, replacements are easy to source. The rating is matched to the Blue Power IP65 charger range, so no extra inline fuse is needed on the output side when this connector is used.

Applications

• Permanent or semi-permanent charger connections on leisure batteries in motorhomes and campervans.
• Marine charging installations where a bolted terminal connection is required.
• Workshop or storage battery maintenance with a fixed terminal setup.
• Any Blue Power IP65 charger installation where crocodile clips are not appropriate.

What's in the box

• 1 x M8 eyelet connector lead with integrated 30A ATO fuse

Installation notes

Disconnect the charger from the mains before fitting or removing the eyelet connector. Secure the M8 eyelet to a clean, corrosion-free terminal stud at an appropriate torque and check the ATO fuse is seated correctly before use. This connector is intended for Victron Blue Power IP65 chargers only. If you are unsure whether it suits your installation, check with a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician.
