The MultiPlus Compact 24/2000/50-50 is a combined inverter and charger for a 24 V battery bank. It is rated for 1,600 W continuous at 25°C and 2,000 VA on nonlinear loads, with a 4,000 W peak. The charger delivers up to 50 A and the transfer switch is rated for 50 A. Continuous output falls to 1,100 W at 65°C, and the enclosure carries an IP21 rating.

Our take

The 4,000 W peak rating covers short surges well above the 1,600 W continuous figure, but sustained loads should stay near 1,600 W, and lower still in a hot compartment where the rating falls to 1,100 W.

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.
