The MultiPlus-II 24/3000/70-50 is a Victron inverter-charger for 24 V battery banks, with a 120 VAC output. It has two AC outputs and a transfer switch rated at 50 A. Continuous inverter output is 2,400 W at 25°C and falls to 1,700 W at 65°C. Peak output is rated at 5,500 W, and the charger can deliver up to 70 A. Output power depends on temperature, so check the figures against where it will be mounted.

Our take

The 2,400 W continuous rating at 25°C drops to 1,700 W at 65°C, so the output you can count on depends on how warm the space around the unit gets. The 70 A charger and 50 A transfer switch are the other figures to size the rest of the system against.

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.
