The Victron Inverter Control is a remote panel for inverters that have a UTP socket for remote monitoring and control. It also works with a MultiPlus inverter/charger if you want transfer switch behaviour without the charger. Its LEDs dim by themselves at night. It is only for specific models, among them 12/1200, 12/1600, 12/2000, 12/3000 and 12/5000, so check your unit's rating before relying on it.
Our take
The LEDs on this panel dim automatically at night, so it is less likely to light up a dark cabin. It is made only for a named set of models, such as 12/1200 and 12/5000, so confirm your inverter is among them first.
From our buying guide
BCI defines a battery management system as an electronic system that monitors a battery's condition, performance and health. Some lithium batteries have one built in and some need an external unit.
Check before you buy:
- A voltage reading means little until the battery has rested, and each maker sets its own rest and table.
- An amp-hour figure needs its rate, since BCI says rated capacity is specified at a particular discharge rate, temperature and cutoff voltage.
