The Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/2000/80-30 combines an inverter and a charger for 12 V systems. The inverter gives 1,600 W continuous at 25 C, a 4,000 W peak, and a 2,000 VA rating on a nonlinear load. The charger delivers up to 80 A, and the transfer switch is rated 30 A. Several units can run in parallel. Continuous inverter output drops to 1,000 W at 65 C.

Our take

The inverter holds 1,600 W continuous at 25 C but 1,000 W at 65 C, so a hot engine space costs real output. The 80 A charger and 4,000 W peak add room beyond that, with a 30 A transfer switch passing shore or generator power through.

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.
