The Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/2000/80-50 is a 12 V inverter and charger in one unit with a 120 V output. It is rated 1,600 W continuous at 25°C, 2,000 VA on a nonlinear load, and 4,000 W peak. The charger side delivers up to 80 A, and the built-in transfer switch is rated 50 A. Continuous inverter output falls to 1,100 W at 65°C. The enclosure is rated IP22.

Our take

The 1,600 W continuous rating at 25°C falls to 1,100 W at 65°C, so heat in the compartment cuts what the inverter can deliver. The 4,000 W peak and 80 A charger share one box with a 50 A transfer switch.

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.
