Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/800/35-16 Inverter Charger 230V | CMP121800000

The Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/800/35-16 combines an inverter and a battery charger in a single compact unit for 12V DC systems with 230V AC output. It suits marine, vehicle and off-grid installations where space is tight but reliable AC power and battery charging are both needed.

Key features of the MultiPlus Compact inverter charger

• Inverter output, 800VA continuous at 230V AC, true sine wave.
• Battery charger, 35A multi-stage adaptive charge algorithm, compatible with lead-acid and lithium chemistries.
• AC transfer switch, 16A rating, with automatic switchover to inverter mode in under 20 milliseconds if AC input fails.
• PowerControl, limits total AC current drawn from shore power or a generator to prevent overload.
• PowerAssist, supplements AC input with inverter power during peak demand, allowing a smaller generator or shore supply.
• VE.Bus interface, enables monitoring and configuration via Victron GX devices and VEConfigure software.
• Weight, 11.5 kg, in a compact housing.

How it works

When shore power or a generator is connected and within tolerance, the unit passes AC through to the loads while charging the battery bank using its three-stage bulk, absorption and float algorithm. If the AC input drops, it switches to inverter mode fast enough to keep most sensitive equipment running. PowerAssist lets it top up an undersized AC source during load spikes, useful on boats with limited shore connections or a small generator.

Applications

• Marine installations needing shore power charging and inverter backup from a 12V battery bank.
• Motorhomes and campervans requiring 230V AC output and charging from a generator or hook-up supply.
• Off-grid cabins and small remote sites with a 12V system and occasional generator input.
• Backup power for critical loads where fast transfer from mains to battery matters.
• Vehicle-based power systems such as ambulances and specialist vehicles.
