Victron MultiPlus 24/800/16-16 230V Inverter Charger | PMP241800000

The Victron MultiPlus 24/800/16-16 combines an inverter, a battery charger and an AC transfer switch in one unit. It runs on a 24V battery bank and delivers 230V AC output, making it suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle systems, and backup power setups where space is limited.

Key features

• Inverter output, 800VA / 700W from a 24V DC battery bank.
• Battery charger, 16A output with an adaptive charge algorithm.
• AC transfer switch, 16A, switching to inverter power on loss of supply.
• PowerAssist, draws extra current from the battery when a shore or generator supply is close to its limit, so a smaller generator can run heavier loads.
• VE.Bus communication, connects to Victron GX devices or the VE.Bus Smart Dongle for monitoring and configuration.
• Battery compatibility, works with flooded, gel and AGM lead-acid batteries as well as lithium, with configurable charge settings.

How it works

When an external AC source is present, the MultiPlus passes power through to connected loads while charging the battery bank at the same time. If that AC source drops out, the transfer switch takes over in under 20 milliseconds, so critical loads stay powered.

Units can be paralleled or set up for split-phase operation over VE.Bus, and the whole system can be monitored and reconfigured remotely through a Victron GX device such as the Cerbo GX, or via VEConfigure software using a VE.Bus to USB interface.

Applications

• Off-grid cabins and remote buildings with 24V battery banks and generator backup.
• Marine vessels needing 230V AC from a 24V DC system with shore power charging.
• Motorhomes and larger campervans with 24V electrical systems.
• Backup power for critical loads in residential or light commercial settings.
• Small off-grid solar systems where the battery also needs charging from a generator.

Installation notes

Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring. DC cable sizing and fusing between the battery bank and the unit matters given the high currents at 24V. VE.Bus configuration needs VEConfigure software with a VE.Bus to USB interface cable, or a compatible Victron GX device.
