The Quattro 24/5000/120-100 is a Victron inverter and charger for a 24 V battery bank with a 120 V output. It is rated 5,000 VA, delivers 4,000 W continuous at 25°C and peaks at 10,000 W. Two AC inputs let it take shore power and a generator and move to whichever is live. The charger puts out up to 120 A, and continuous output drops to 3,000 W at 65°C.

Our take

The 3,000 W rating at 65°C against 4,000 W at 25°C shows how much this Quattro gives up in a hot space, so size the loads to the lower figure. Its two AC inputs connect automatically to whichever source is active, shore or generator.

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.
