The MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120-50 is a Victron Energy inverter/charger for 12 V battery systems, with two AC outputs and a 50 A transfer switch. Its part number is PMP122305120. It is rated 3,000 VA, with 2,400 W continuous at 25°C and a 5,500 W peak. Charging is up to 120 A at an ambient temperature of 25°C or below. At 65°C continuous output is 1,700 W. A temperature sensor is included.

Our take

The 120 A charge current and 50 A transfer switch put the charger and AC pass-through in one box, but continuous output drops from 2,400 W at 25°C to 1,700 W at 65°C. Plan loads against the hot-weather number.

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.
