Victron Multiplus 1600Va Kit with DC leads, isolator and mains wiring kit — 1300W of pure sine wave power plus 70A shore charging
Gives your campervan serious 240V power and shore-power charging in one unit. The MultiPlus 1600Va delivers 1300W of continuous pure sine wave — it runs a kettle, power tools and most kitchen appliances short of full-size microwaves. When you plug into hook-up, it switches roles and charges your battery at 70A.
The changeover is seamless. Shore power present: it charges your battery and passes mains through to your sockets. Shore power gone: it inverts from your battery to the same sockets. Automatic, instant, and silent — you never think about which source you're on.
The kit includes the DC battery leads and isolator, plus the mains wiring kit with the IP67 inlet and pre-wired consumer unit. Matched, specified, and ready to install — the complete 240V system for larger systems · kettles & tools.

🔌 What Can It Run?
The MultiPlus 1600VA delivers 1300W of continuous pure sine 240V power and provides 70A battery charging on hook-up. Here is what it can realistically run off-grid:
Phones, Laptops + TV
70-350W Comfortable combined load
✓
Travel Kettle
500-800W No problem when used alone
✓
Microwave
700-1000W Check the appliance input rating
✓
Air Fryer
800-1200W Use alone and check its label
✓
Hair Dryer (Low)
800-1200W Short use, within the rating
✓
Power Tools
300-1200W Check running and start-up ratings
✓
Standard Kettle
2000-2400W Above the 1300W continuous limit
✗
Induction Hob
1800-2200W Above the 1300W continuous limit
✗
Combined Load Examples
Lights + television + devices + microwave: around 1150W — within the limit
Air fryer on its own: 800-1200W — suitable if the nameplate stays below 1300W
Wattages are typical values — check each appliance label. Keep the combined continuous load within 1300W and allow for motor or compressor start-up demand.
📦 What's Included
1
Victron MultiPlus 1600Va Inverter-Charger
1300W continuous pure sine wave inverter with built-in 70A multi-stage charger and automatic transfer switch.
2
DC Battery Leads & Isolator
Professionally crimped battery cables with isolator switch — sized for the inverter's current draw.
3
Mains Wiring Kit
IP67 inlet, pre-wired consumer unit with RCBO protection, connections specified for the MultiPlus.
⚡ Key Features
01Inverter and Charger, One Box
Inverts up to 1300W off-grid; charges at 70A on hook-up. One unit doing both jobs saves space, wiring, and cost versus separate devices.
02Seamless Changeover
Plug in at a campsite and it charges; unplug and it inverts. The transfer is automatic and in milliseconds — no switches to flip, no interruption to what's running.
03Pure Sine Wave, Safe for Everything
Clean output that's safe for laptops, medical devices, and anything with a plug. No modified-sine damage risk.
04Built-In Neutral Grounding Relay
The shore-to-inverter changeover happens through the Multiplus's internal neutral-grounding relay — a requirement under current regulations for inverter transfer switches. No external relay to buy or wire: changeover is safe and automatic.

❓ FAQ
What can 1600VA run?
It runs a kettle, power tools and most kitchen appliances short of full-size microwaves. Total draw must stay under 1300W continuous — check appliance labels. Anything with a heating element is the big draw; LEDs and electronics barely register.
How much battery do I need?
Inverting at full power draws roughly 108A from a 12V battery. Lithium banks handle this; small AGM banks sag. Match the inverter to your bank: bigger inverters want bigger batteries.
Is this different from the Inverter Smart kits?
Yes — the MultiPlus range are inverter-chargers (they charge your battery from shore power). The Inverter Smart is inverter-only. Choose MultiPlus if you use campsites; Inverter Smart if you charge purely by solar and split charge.
Can I add solar to this?
Yes — an MPPT controller and panel run alongside the MultiPlus. Look at the Solar + Power Board kits, or the Full Off-Grid complete system if you want the whole package in one go.
