The Victron Energy Lynx Class-T Power In is a modular distribution system designed to connect and ...The Victron Energy Lynx Class-T Power In is a modular distribution system designed to connect and fuse up to two strings of Lithium batteries. It features a positive and negative busbar, and connections for two Class-T fuses, along with a ground connection for the DC system. Class T-fuses, available in 225A, 250A, 350A, and 400A, must be purchased separately. This module is recommended for installations using three or more strings of Lithium batteries, where multiple Lynx Class-T modules should be used.
This guide is for users of the Victron Energy Lynx Class-T Power In (M10), a modular distribution system designed for lithium battery installations. The key benefit is its ability to safely connect and fuse multiple battery strings, improving system reliability. A caveat is that Class-T fuses are sold separately. This module is ideal for those needing a robust and organized DC power distribution solution for their energy systems.

FAQs
What type of fuses should I use?
You must use Class-T fuses. The appropriate amperage depends on your system's current requirements. Victron Energy recommends reviewing your battery and inverter specifications to determine the correct fuse size.
How many battery strings can I connect?
Each Lynx Class-T Power In module can connect and protect up to two battery strings. For systems with more than two strings, use multiple modules.
Where can I find the Class-T fuses?
Class-T fuses are available from various electrical supply stores and online retailers. Make sure to purchase the correct amperage for your system.
What is the purpose of the ground connection?
The ground connection provides a safe path for fault currents, protecting the DC system and users from electrical hazards.
Is this module waterproof?
This module is not waterproof. It should be installed in a protected environment away from moisture.
Can I use this with other battery types?
While primarily designed for Lithium batteries, the Lynx Class-T Power In can be used with other DC power sources if the voltage and current requirements are compatible. Always consult the specifications of your components to ensure proper operation and safety.
