This is the Victron Energy 12/1600 inverter in its 120V version, with a NEMA 5-15R outlet and VE.Direct in its name. Inverters of this kind turn battery power into AC so household-type equipment can run on a boat. The VE.Direct range is sized from 250VA to 1600VA and is fed from batteries of 12V, 24V or 48V DC. Victron gives its products a 5-year standard warranty.
Our take
The 120V rating and NEMA 5-15R outlet in the name mark this as the 120V version, not the 230V one that shares the range. Check that the plugs you plan to run match that outlet, and that your battery bank matches the 12 in 12/1600.
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.
