Victron Inverter Smart 12/2000 with DC leads and isolator — 1600W of pure sine wave power for demanding off-grid loads
Runs real 240V appliances off your leisure battery. The Victron Inverter Smart 12/2000 delivers 1600W of continuous pure sine wave power — enough for a kettle, power tools, a microwave on medium, or a hairdryer. Off-grid, in a field, with nothing but your battery bank.
This is an inverter, not an inverter-charger — it converts DC to AC, full stop. (If you want shore-power charging too, look at the MultiPlus kits instead.) What it does, it does properly: pure sine wave and enough surge headroom to start inductive loads like fridges and tools.
The kit includes the heavy-duty DC leads and isolator switch specified for 1600W of continuous draw. That's not a detail — pulling 133A+ from a battery through undersized cable means voltage drop, heat, and wasted power. This kit's cables are built for the job.

🔌 What Can It Run?
The Victron Inverter Smart 12/2000 delivers 1600W of continuous pure sine 240V power with 4000W surge capability for appliance start-up. It is a standalone inverter and does not provide mains battery charging. Here is what it can realistically run:
Phones, Laptops + TV
70-350W Comfortable combined load
✓
Travel Kettle
500-800W No problem
✓
Microwave
700-1000W Runs comfortably
✓
Air Fryer
800-1500W Check its nameplate rating
✓
Hair Dryer
1200-1600W Short use within the continuous limit
✓
Power Tools
300-1600W 4000W surge helps with start-up demand
✓
Induction Hob (Low)
1000-1600W Only where the actual input stays within 1600W
✓
Standard Kettle
2000-2400W Above the 1600W continuous limit
✗
Combined Load Examples
Lights + television + devices + microwave: around 1200W — comfortable
Air fryer or low-setting induction cooking: use as the main load and keep the total below 1600W
Wattages are typical values — check each appliance label. Keep the combined continuous load within 1600W. The 4000W figure is short surge capability, not continuous output.
📦 What's Included
1
Victron Inverter Smart 12/2000
1600W continuous pure sine wave inverter with ECO mode. Runs demanding 240V loads off your 12V battery.
2
DC Leads & Isolator Switch
Heavy-duty battery cables with isolator, professionally crimped and sized for 1600W continuous draw.
⚡ Key Features
01Actually Runs a Kettle
A travel kettle draws 800-1000W; a full-size one up to 3000W (too much). The 12/2000 handles travel kettles, small microwaves on medium, power tools, and hairdryers under 1600W. Check your appliance ratings — this inverter tells you quickly what's possible.
02Know Your Draw
Add up your appliances before you buy — anything under the 1600W continuous rating is fair game. It's the fastest way to learn what your battery bank can and can't support.
03ECO Mode Saves Your Battery
In ECO mode the inverter pulses its output looking for loads, dropping standby draw to a fraction of a watt. When you switch something on, it's at full power instantly. For long off-grid stretches this matters.
04Cables That Match the Current
1600W at 12V is over 133A of continuous draw. The leads in this kit are sized for that — anything less means voltage drop, heat at the terminals, and the inverter shutting down on low voltage when your battery is half full.

❓ FAQ
What battery capacity do I need?
At 1600W draw you're pulling 133A+ from a 12V battery. Lithium handles this comfortably; small AGM batteries will sag under the load. As a rule of thumb: at least 200Ah of lithium for full-power use, or run lower-draw appliances from smaller banks.
Can I run a microwave?
A 700-800W microwave on medium power draws roughly 1000-1200W from the inverter — within range. Full-power 1200W+ microwaves will exceed it. Check the appliance label before buying.
Why no charger in this kit?
This is an inverter only — for people who charge by split charge and solar and just need 240V off-grid. If you also use campsite hook-ups, a MultiPlus kit combines inverter and charger in one unit.
Will it run my air fryer?
Small air fryers (800-1400W) run on the 12/2000 — check the label. Large ones (1800W+) will trip the overload.
