Victron Energy Battery Indicator Eyelet M8 with 30A ATO Fuse – BPC900120114

Product Overview

The Victron Energy Battery Indicator Eyelet (BPC900120114) is a compact battery monitoring accessory designed to provide a quick visual indication of the state of charge of a 12V lead-acid battery. Designed for use with compatible Victron Blue Smart IP65 and Blue Power IP65 battery chargers, it allows users to check battery condition without needing a separate monitoring display or smartphone application.

Featuring an integrated LED status indicator, an M8 battery eyelet connection and a 30A ATO fuse, this practical accessory provides a convenient solution for monitoring battery charge levels in automotive, marine and leisure power installations.

LED Battery Status Monitoring

The built-in LED indicator uses a simple colour-coded system to display the approximate state of charge of the connected battery.

A green light indicates that the battery is approximately 80–100% charged and does not currently require charging. An orange light indicates approximately 60–80% charge, suggesting that a top-up charge may be beneficial. A red light indicates approximately 40–60% charge, meaning the battery requires charging. If no indicator light is illuminated, the battery is below approximately 40% charge and should be recharged promptly to help prevent sulphation.

For the most accurate indication, allow approximately 30 minutes after using or charging the battery for its voltage to stabilise before checking the LED display.

M8 Eyelet Battery Connection

The BPC900120114 features an M8 ring terminal designed to connect directly to a compatible battery terminal stud. This allows the indicator to remain permanently connected to the battery, providing convenient access to battery status whenever required.

Its compact design incorporates the LED indicator and battery connection into a single assembly, making it suitable for installations where space is limited and a separate dashboard-mounted indicator panel is unnecessary.

The short 0.3-metre cable provides a direct connection to the battery while keeping the installation neat and straightforward.

Integrated 30A Fuse Protection

An inline 30A ATO blade fuse is incorporated into the battery connection to provide additional circuit protection. The fuse helps protect the connected wiring and charging circuit against excessive current conditions.

The accessory has a maximum current rating of 30A and a very low standby current consumption of approximately 0.9mA, helping minimise the effect on battery charge when left connected.

Applications and Usage

The Victron Battery Indicator Eyelet is suitable for 12V lead-acid batteries used in cars, vans, motorcycles, boats, yachts, caravans, campervans and motorhomes.

It is particularly useful for monitoring batteries in vehicles and marine installations where regular access to the battery may be inconvenient. The indicator provides a simple visual reference to help users identify when a battery needs charging, supporting better battery maintenance and helping reduce the risk of prolonged low-charge conditions.

Technical Specifications

The BPC900120114 operates within a voltage range of 6–15V and is designed specifically for 12V lead-acid batteries, including flooded, GEL and AGM battery types. It is not suitable for lithium batteries or 24V battery systems.

The maximum current rating is 30A, with a standby current drain of approximately 0.9mA. The cable measures 0.3 metres in length and has a cross-sectional area of 3.3mm² (AWG12).

The battery connection uses an M8 eyelet terminal and incorporates a 30A ATO fuse. The compact indicator measures approximately 22 x 18 x 55mm and has an IP65 protection rating for protection against dust and water exposure. The complete assembly weighs approximately 0.17kg.

Compatibility and Installation

This battery indicator eyelet is designed as an accessory for compatible Victron Blue Smart IP65 and Blue Power IP65 battery chargers. It is suitable for 12V flooded, GEL and AGM lead-acid batteries only.

The M8 eyelet connects directly to a compatible battery terminal stud. Once installed, the indicator can remain connected to provide ongoing battery status monitoring. Ensure the correct polarity is observed and that the connection is securely fastened.

Product Summary

The Victron Energy BPC900120114 Battery Indicator Eyelet provides a simple and convenient way to monitor the approximate state of charge of a 12V lead-acid battery. Combining colour-coded LED indication, an M8 eyelet connection, a 30A ATO fuse and low standby current consumption, it is a useful accessory for automotive, marine and leisure battery installations.
