Victron MultiPlus 1600Va Inverter/Charger

✓ Pure Sine Wave✓ 1600Va✓ Built-in 70A Charger✓ PowerAssist
Inverter/charger — 1600Va inverter + 70A battery charger, between the 1200Va and 2000Va

Delivers seamless 240V AC off-grid power and battery charging in a single three-in-one unit. Combining a 1600VA pure sine wave inverter, a 70A mains charger and an automatic transfer switch eliminates separate units, cutting installation wiring complexity whilst saving valuable interior space.

The transfer switch allows you to use the same sockets in the van whether you're on grid or off-grid. This is the ideal option if you need robust power headroom for small kitchen appliances or tools without upgrading to a larger, heavier system.

  • 1600Va inverter (1300W continuous) + 70A battery charger in one unit
  • PowerAssist — supplements shore power with battery power for peaks
  • Pure sine wave — safe for all electronics
  • Seamless transfer between shore power and inverter (<20ms)
  • 70A charger — fast battery charging from shore power
  • G-ST18i AC connector
  • VE.Bus port for Cerbo GX integration
  • Pre-programmed for lithium batteries and fine-tuned for campervan systems before dispatch — less setup, just connect and go

⚡ Key Features

01Three-in-One

Inverter AND battery charger. Eliminates the need for a separate mains charger. Charges at 70A when connected to shore power.

02PowerAssist

If shore power is limited (e.g., 6A hookup), the MultiPlus supplements with battery power to handle high loads like kettles. No more tripped breakers.

03Seamless Transfer

Millisecond switchover between shore power and inverter means your appliances stay running. No interruption when arriving or departing.

04System Integration

VE.Bus port connects to Cerbo GX for full system monitoring via VRM portal. Coordinate with solar and alternator charging for optimal battery management.

🔌 What Can It Run?

The MultiPlus 1600Va delivers approximately 1300W continuous (1600Va, 2800W peak). Also charges your battery at 70A when on shore power. Here's what it can run:

✓

Phone/Laptop

10-90W
All devices simultaneously

✓

LED Lighting

10-100W

✓

TV (any size)

50-200W

✓

Standard Kettle

2000-2400W
Runs but at the top end — short bursts only

✓

Microwave

700-1000W
Runs comfortably

✓

Hair Dryer

1200-1300W
Short use OK, near the limit

✓

Travel Kettle

500-800W
No problem

✗

Induction Hob

1800-2200W
Too much for continuous use

Combined Load Examples

Lights + TV + devices + microwave: ~1000W — comfortable

Kettle + phone charging: ~2050W — brief bursts only

Hair dryer + lights: ~1350W — short use, near capacity

Va differs from watts due to power factor. Battery capacity is the real constraint for high-power loads — check your battery bank can supply the peak current needed.
