Description
xVictron MultiPlus 24/1200/25-16 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger
The Victron MultiPlus 24/1200/25-16 is a combined inverter and battery charger in a single unit, designed for 24V battery systems with a 230V AC output. It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where a compact, reliable inverter charger is required.
Key Features
- 1200VA continuous inverter output at 230V AC from a 24V DC battery bank.
- 25A three-stage battery charger (bulk, absorption, float) built in, with adaptive charge algorithm.
- 16A AC transfer switch allows connection to shore power or a generator, with automatic switchover.
- PowerAssist function supplements AC input with inverter power when load exceeds the available shore or generator supply.
- VE.Bus communication port for system integration, remote monitoring and parallel or three-phase configuration with additional units.
- Supports multiple programmable relay and generator start/stop functions via VE.Bus.
- Suitable for parallel operation: multiple units can be combined to increase capacity.
Product Overview
The MultiPlus 24/1200/25-16 combines a pure sine wave inverter with a high-efficiency battery charger and an automatic transfer switch. When AC input is available (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 sensitive equipment running without interruption.
The 25A charger uses Victron's adaptive three-stage algorithm, which adjusts charge behaviour based on battery usage patterns. This is particularly useful in installations where charge time and battery longevity matter, such as live-aboard boats, off-grid cabins or backup systems that cycle regularly. The 16A transfer switch rating sets the maximum AC input current the unit will accept, which should be factored in when sizing the supply cable and circuit protection.
VE.Bus connectivity allows the MultiPlus to be configured and monitored using Victron's VEConfigure software and GX devices. Multiple units can be connected in parallel for increased output, or configured for split-phase or three-phase systems. This makes the MultiPlus range scalable beyond the single-unit specification.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring. The unit must be connected to a correctly fused and rated 24V DC battery bank. The 16A AC input rating must be respected when sizing supply cables and upstream protection. For any grid-connected or grid-backup application in the UK, compliance with the relevant network operator requirements (G98 or G99) must be confirmed before commissioning. VE.Bus configuration requires Victron's VEConfigure software and a suitable interface cable or GX device.
