It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where a reliable, compact inverter charger is required.\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 three-stage battery charger (bulk, absorption, float) with adaptive charge algorithm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16A AC transfer switch for seamless changeover between shore\/generator power and inverter output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowerAssist function boosts shore or generator power with battery power to prevent overload on limited AC supplies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Bus communication interface for system integration, parallel operation and remote monitoring via Victron GX devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports parallel and three-phase configurations when multiple units are used together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in battery temperature and voltage sensing for accurate charge management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUPS-like transfer time of less than 20ms, suitable for most sensitive loads.\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 battery charger and an AC transfer switch. When AC input is available from shore power or a generator, the unit charges the battery bank at up to 70A while passing power through to connected loads. When AC input is lost or disconnected, the transfer switch activates in under 20ms and the inverter takes over, drawing from the 12V battery bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PowerAssist feature is particularly useful in installations where the available AC supply is limited, such as a 16A shore power connection on a boat or motorhome. When load demand exceeds what the AC source can supply, the MultiPlus draws the deficit from the battery, preventing the shore supply from tripping. This allows larger loads to run without upgrading the incoming supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVE.Bus connectivity allows the MultiPlus to be integrated into a wider Victron system. It can be monitored and configured via a Victron GX device (such as the Cerbo GX), controlled remotely through VRM, and programmed using VEConfigure software. Multiple units can be connected in parallel for increased capacity, or configured for split or three-phase output.\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  \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  \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\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 \/ 1300W continuous\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 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 Transfer Switch\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;\"\u003eTransfer Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eLess than 20ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCommunication\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;\"\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\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and remote buildings requiring 230V AC power from a 12V battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine installations on sailing yachts and motorboats with 12V DC systems and shore power connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhomes and campervans needing mains-quality AC output and battery charging from hookup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power systems for critical loads where fast transfer from mains to battery is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHybrid solar systems when paired with a Victron MPPT charge controller and GX monitoring device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x 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 must be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer. The MultiPlus connects directly to a 12V battery bank and to the AC distribution system; incorrect wiring can result in damage to equipment or risk of electric shock. For any grid-connected or shore-power application, ensure the installation complies with relevant wiring regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Configuration via VEConfigure software is recommended before commissioning to set correct battery type, charge voltages and AC input current limits. Battery cable sizing must be appropriate for the high DC currents involved at 12V.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47391703957838,"sku":"PMP122160000","price":460.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/victron-multiplus-12160070-16-230v-vebus-pmp122160000-131957.jpg?v=1747927352","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-multiplus-12-1600-70-16-inverter-charger","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
