It is suited to off-grid installations, vehicle and marine applications, and backup power setups where a reliable DC-to-AC conversion is required. The built-in Bluetooth module allows direct monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app without additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1600VA continuous output from a 12V DC battery bank, with 230V AC output at 50Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics, motors and appliances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth Smart for wireless monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable low battery voltage shutdown, warning and restart thresholds to protect battery health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverload and short-circuit protection with automatic shutdown and restart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature-controlled cooling fan reduces noise at low loads and extends component life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowerControl and PowerAssist functions allow load management when combined with a Victron charger\/inverter setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12\/1600 Smart sits in Victron's standalone inverter range, meaning it converts DC battery power to AC mains voltage but does not include a battery charger. This makes it a compact, cost-effective choice where charging is handled separately, such as in systems already equipped with a Victron MPPT solar charge controller or an external mains charger. The 1600VA rating provides enough capacity for a broad range of loads including power tools, lighting circuits, refrigeration and small appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth connectivity is built in as standard, not an optional add-on. Using VictronConnect, an installer or end user can read live data, adjust protection thresholds and review historical alarms directly from a smartphone or tablet. This removes the need for a dedicated display panel in many installations and simplifies commissioning. The inverter can also be integrated into a wider Victron system using a VE.Direct interface, enabling connection to a GX device such as the Cerbo GX for full system monitoring via the VRM portal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit weighs 12.4 kg, reflecting the transformer-based design that underpins Victron's low-frequency inverter topology. This construction provides high surge capacity for motor starting loads and is generally more tolerant of sustained high loads compared to high-frequency designs. It is a well-established platform used across professional off-grid, marine and vehicle installations throughout the UK and EU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePIN122161000\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eNominal DC Input Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eContinuous Output Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1600VA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Output Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e230V AC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOutput Waveform\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePure sine wave\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBluetooth Smart (VictronConnect), VE.Direct\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12.4 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076057505\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote buildings powered by a 12V battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCampervans, motorhomes and coaches requiring 230V AC from the vehicle battery system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine vessels with 12V house battery banks needing AC power for onboard equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power systems where a separate charger or solar charge controller is already installed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemporary site power and mobile working platforms requiring clean sine wave output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Inverter 12\/1600 230V Smart unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDC battery connection cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUser documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inverter operates at 12V DC and draws high DC currents at full load. Correct cable sizing, fusing and terminal torque are critical for safe operation. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with DC power systems. The unit is not grid-tied and does not require G98 or G99 notification, but any AC wiring connected to its output must comply with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). Ensure the battery bank is adequately rated for the inverter's peak current demand. Ventilation clearances must be maintained around the unit to allow the cooling fan to operate effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863681335630,"sku":"PIN122161000","price":435.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_PIN122161000_-_Inverter_12-1600_230V_Smart.webp?v=1781183371","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-inverter-12-1600-230v-smart","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
