The Victron Energy Inverter 24/375 is a 24 V inverter rated for 300 W continuous at 25°C and 700 W peak, with a 375 VA rating on nonlinear loads. At 40°C the continuous rating is 260 W. Idle draw is 6.1 W, falling to 1.4 W in ECO mode, and maximum efficiency is 89 %. Those standing-load and efficiency figures are the ones to weigh for a battery bank that runs the inverter for long periods.

Our take

The 300 W continuous rating at 25°C drops to 260 W at 40°C, so a hot compartment trims what this 24 V inverter can carry. Idle draw is 6.1 W, or 1.4 W in ECO mode, a figure that adds up on a bank left connected.

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.
