The Victron MultiPlus 12/1200/50-16 120V is a VE.Bus inverter-charger for 12 V battery systems. It is rated 1,200 VA, with 1,000 W of continuous inverter output at 25°C and a 2,400 W peak. The charger can deliver up to 50 A, the AC transfer switch is rated 16 A, and the unit supports PowerAssist. Continuous inverter output falls to 600 W at 65°C.

Our take

The 1,000 W continuous inverter rating at 25°C drops to 600 W at 65°C, so how much this 12 V MultiPlus can run depends on how warm it is. Its peak rating is 2,400 W, and PowerAssist is listed as available.

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.
