This is Victron's 12 V inverter with a Schuko outlet. It is rated for 1,000 W continuous at 25°C and 1,200 VA with a nonlinear load, with a 2,200 W peak rating. Output drops to 850 W continuous at 40°C. The enclosure carries an IP21 rating, and maximum efficiency is stated as 91 %.
Our take
The continuous rating falls from 1,000 W at 25°C to 850 W at 40°C, so in a warm compartment plan around the lower figure. The peak rating is 2,200 W, and the enclosure is only IP21, so give it protection from water.
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.
