The Victron MultiPlus 12/800/35-16 120V is a VE.Bus inverter-charger for 12 V battery systems. It is rated 800 VA, with 700 W of continuous inverter output at 25°C and a 1,600 W peak. The charger can deliver up to 35 A, the AC transfer switch is rated 16 A, and the unit supports PowerAssist. Continuous inverter output falls to 400 W at 65°C.

Our take

The 700 W continuous inverter rating at 25°C falls to 400 W at 65°C, so what this 12 V MultiPlus can run depends on how warm it gets. The 35 A charger and PowerAssist support are the other numbers to weigh.

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.
