This Victron inverter runs from a 12 V battery and puts out 120 V AC through a built-in NEMA 5-15R GFCI outlet. It is rated 250 VA, with 200 W continuous at 25°C and a 400 W peak. Maximum efficiency is 87 %. In ECO mode the zero-load power is 0.8 W, and the setting is adjustable.
Our take
A 200 W continuous rating with a 400 W peak is the ceiling for anything plugged into its GFCI outlet, so check each load against those two figures. ECO mode brings the zero-load draw down to 0.8 W, so leaving it connected costs little standing power.
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.
