It is suited to marine, vehicle, off-grid and backup power installations where space is limited but reliable AC power and efficient charging are both 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 multi-stage battery charger with adaptive charge algorithm, adjusting charge profile based on battery behaviour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16A AC transfer switch allows connection to shore power or a generator, with automatic switchover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowerControl function limits the load on a shore power or generator supply by reducing charge current when AC loads increase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowerAssist function supplements shore or generator power with battery power during peak demand, preventing overload of the AC source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVE.Bus interface enables system integration, remote monitoring and configuration via Victron GX devices and VEConfigure software.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor with a weight of 11.5 kg, suitable for installations with restricted mounting space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports multiple battery chemistries including flooded, gel and AGM lead-acid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MultiPlus Compact combines a pure sine wave inverter with a high-current battery charger and an AC transfer switch in one enclosure. When an AC source such as shore power or a generator is connected, the unit charges the battery bank and passes AC power through to connected loads. When the AC source is removed or fails, the transfer switch activates in under 20 milliseconds, maintaining power to critical loads without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 70A charger uses Victron's adaptive three-stage charging (bulk, absorption, float) with an automatic equalisation option for flooded batteries. The adaptive algorithm monitors how long the battery spends in absorption and adjusts future charge cycles accordingly, which reduces overcharging on batteries that are regularly topped up. PowerControl and PowerAssist are particularly useful in marina or vehicle installations where the available AC supply is limited: the unit will draw only what the source can provide and make up any shortfall from the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVE.Bus connectivity means the MultiPlus Compact can be integrated into a wider Victron system. It can be monitored and configured remotely via a GX device such as the Cerbo GX, and settings including charge voltages, transfer switch thresholds and input current limits can be adjusted using VEConfigure software without opening the unit.\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;\"\u003eCMP122160000\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBattery Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e12V DC\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 AC\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCharger Output Current\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 Rating\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;\"\u003eAC Output 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;\"\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;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e11.5 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;\"\u003e8719076065081\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\u003eMarine vessels requiring reliable AC power from a 12V battery bank with shore power charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhomes and campervans needing both inverter output and mains battery charging in a compact unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and small buildings with a 12V battery system and occasional generator input.\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\u003eMobile workshops or service vehicles where 230V AC tools must be powered from a vehicle battery bank.\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 MultiPlus Compact 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 familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring.
