It suits marine, vehicle, off-grid and backup installations where space is tight but reliable AC power from a battery bank is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInverter output\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1600VA continuous at 230V AC from a 12V DC battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery charger\u003c\/strong\u003e, 70A with an adaptive multi-stage algorithm that adjusts to battery condition over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAC transfer switch\u003c\/strong\u003e, 16A, switching between shore or generator power and inverter output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerControl\u003c\/strong\u003e, limits AC input current draw to prevent overloading a shore or generator supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerAssist\u003c\/strong\u003e, supplements AC input with battery power during peak demand, allowing a smaller generator or shore connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVE.Bus interface\u003c\/strong\u003e, for integration, remote monitoring and configuration via Victron GX devices or VEConfigure software.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e, 11.5 kg, suited to restricted mounting spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports parallel and three-phase operation when multiple units are combined.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit pairs a sine wave inverter with a high-current charger and an AC transfer switch. Connect an AC source, such as shore power or a generator, and it charges the battery bank while passing AC through to loads. Lose that source and the transfer switch takes over. The 70A charger runs Victron's four-stage bulk, absorption, float and storage algorithm, adjusting absorption time to the previous discharge to reduce unnecessary charge time. It works with flooded, AGM and gel lead-acid batteries, and can be set up for lithium via VEConfigure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVE.Bus lets the MultiPlus Compact join a larger Victron system. Monitor and control it through a Victron GX device such as the Cerbo GX, or configure it remotely via VRM. Connect several units in parallel for more capacity, or set up split-phase or three-phase output where the installation calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine vessels needing 230V AC power from a 12V battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorhomes and campervans with shore power and battery backup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote buildings with battery storage and generator input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPS and backup power for critical equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobile and vehicle installations where compact dimensions matter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1x Victron MultiPlus Compact 12\/1600\/70-16 230V VE.Bus inverter charger unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer experienced with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring.
