It is suited to marine, vehicle, off-grid and backup power installations where a compact, reliable inverter charger is required. The VE.Bus interface allows integration with other Victron components for system monitoring and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1600VA continuous inverter output at 230V AC from a 12V DC battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e70A battery charger built in, capable of charging lead-acid and lithium battery types (configuration dependent).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16A AC transfer switch allows connection of a shore power or generator input, with automatic switchover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Bus communication port enables connection to Victron GX devices, CCGX, Cerbo GX and Venus GX for remote monitoring and system integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowerAssist function supplements shore or generator power with battery power when AC demand exceeds the available input current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure sine wave output suitable for sensitive electronics and motor loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgrammable charge algorithm via VictronConnect or VE.Configure software for optimised battery care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnit weight of 10 kg in a compact wall-mount enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MultiPlus 12\/1600\/70-16 combines a pure sine wave inverter with a high-current three-stage battery charger. When AC input is present (shore power or generator), the unit charges the battery bank and passes power through to connected loads. When AC input is lost or disconnected, it switches to inverter mode in under 20 milliseconds, which is fast enough to keep most computers and sensitive equipment running without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 70A charger output is significant for a unit of this size. It allows a reasonably sized 12V battery bank to be recharged efficiently during generator run time, reducing fuel consumption and run hours. The charge current and algorithm are configurable, which matters when working with lithium batteries that require specific charge profiles. The 16A AC input current limit is fixed on this model, so it is important to size the generator or shore power supply accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVE.Bus is Victron's communication protocol for linking multiple Victron devices. This unit can be configured in parallel or three-phase arrangements with other compatible MultiPlus units, and it integrates with the full range of Victron GX monitoring hardware. For standalone off-grid or backup installations, VE.Bus also allows configuration via a laptop using VE.Configure software, giving installers precise control over thresholds, charge settings and transfer behaviour.\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;\"\u003ePMP122160000\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDC Input Voltage (Nominal)\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;\"\u003eInverter 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\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;\"\u003eBattery Charger Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e70A\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Input Current Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCommunication Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eVE.Bus\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAC Transfer Switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eYes (16A)\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;\"\u003e10 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;\"\u003e8719076044949\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\u003eMarine vessels requiring 230V AC power from a 12V DC battery bank with shore power charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhomes and campervans with mains hook-up and off-grid inverter requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and small buildings with battery storage and generator backup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUPS and backup power systems for sensitive equipment in commercial or industrial settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron multi-unit parallel systems where additional 1600VA capacity is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron MultiPlus 12\/1600\/70-16 230V VE.Bus inverter charger unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring.
