The Victron Phoenix Inverter 24/800 is a 24 V inverter with a built-in NEMA 5-15R GFCI outlet, so it needs a 24 V battery bank. It is rated for 650 W continuous output at 25°C, with a 1,500 W peak. The 800 VA figure is for a nonlinear load at 25°C. Maximum efficiency is 90 %, and zero-load power is 7 W. The enclosure carries an IP21 rating.

Our take

The 7 W zero-load power is the standing draw on the 24 V bank whenever this inverter is on with nothing connected, set against a 650 W continuous rating. The 1,500 W peak figure is the short-term ceiling.

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.
