The MultiPlus-II 24/3000/70-50 120V is a Victron inverter/charger built for a 24 V battery bank. It is rated at 3,000 VA, with 2,400 W of continuous inverter output at 25°C, falling to 1,700 W at 65°C. Output voltage is 120 VAC. The charger side gives up to 70 A, and the transfer switch is rated at 50 A. Peak power is listed at 5,500 W.

Our take

The 2,400 W continuous output at 25°C sits under the 3,000 VA in the model name, and the maker ties that VA figure to a nonlinear load at 25°C. Plan loads on the watts figure, and expect it to fall to 1,700 W at 65°C.

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.
