In this kit

Victron BMV-702 battery monitor

Battery Monitor – know your state of charge at a glance

Not in the kit: main battery fuse (250A Class-T), fuse holders, busbars, battery and power cables, solar panels, battery charger (sized to your installation). Mount the main fuse within 7 inches of the battery positive. Your installer confirms the final size.

Add-ons and install parts

Optional – Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20, if you add solar panels later.

Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 12/30 charger – lithium-ready charger for shore power or a generator, three outputs.

Victron mains cord NEMA 5-15P – the Phoenix charger ships without a power cord; this is the US plug for it.

Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC charger – charges the batteries safely from your engine’s alternator while the engine runs.

Victron MEGA fuse holder – for the smaller circuits (charger and loads); MEGA fuses from 40A to 400A are in the shop.

MEGA fuses (packs of 5) – for the smaller circuits, one per circuit, sized from your wiring diagram.

Victron 250A busbar, 4 connections – a tidy connection point for the battery, charger and load cables.

Victron Phoenix Smart IP43 12/50 charger – a bigger lithium-ready shore-power charger for faster charging of the 400Ah bank.

Victron MultiPlus 12/2000 inverter / charger – runs 120V appliances up to about 1,600W and charges the batteries from shore power – in place of a separate charger.

Battery cables are not sold in the shop – your wiring diagram gives the sizes.
