The Victron MultiPlus 12/500/20-16 120V is a VE.Bus inverter-charger for 12 V battery systems. It is rated 500 VA, with 430 W of continuous inverter output at 25°C and a peak of 900 W, and it produces 120 VAC. The built-in charger can deliver up to 20 A, and the AC transfer switch is rated 16 A. It is a true sine wave inverter paired with an adaptive battery charger.
Our take
The 430 W continuous inverter rating at 25°C, against a 900 W peak, sets how much this 12 V MultiPlus can run from the battery. PowerAssist is listed as off for this model, so it does not have that feature.
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.
