The Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 230V is an inverter/charger for 48 V battery systems. It gives 4,000 W of continuous inverter output at 25°C, 3,000 W at 65°C, and peaks of 9,000 W, with a 5,000 VA rating on nonlinear loads. The built-in charger delivers up to 70 A, and the transfer switch is rated at 50 A. The enclosure is rated IP22.

Our take

Output falls from 4,000 W at 25°C to 3,000 W at 65°C, so a hot engine space costs the MultiPlus-II a quarter of its continuous power, though it is rated for 9,000 W peaks. Its 70 A charger runs from a 48 V bank.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
