xVictron MultiPlus Compact 12/2000/80-30 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger — CMP122200000
The Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/2000/80-30 is a combined inverter and battery charger in a single unit, designed for 12V battery systems requiring up to 2000VA of AC output at 230V. It is well suited to marine, vehicle, off-grid and backup power installations where space and weight are a consideration. The VE.Bus interface allows integration with other Victron equipment and system monitoring.
Key Features
- 2000VA continuous inverter output at 230V AC from a 12V DC battery bank.
- 80A battery charger built in, with adaptive charge algorithm to suit different battery chemistries.
- 30A AC transfer switch for automatic changeover between shore/generator power and inverter output.
- VE.Bus communication port for parallel operation, system expansion and integration with Victron monitoring and control devices.
- PowerControl function limits the load on a generator or shore supply by reducing charger current when AC input is near its limit.
- PowerAssist function supplements the AC input with inverter power during peak demand, allowing a smaller generator or shore connection to be used.
- Compact form factor at 14.3 kg, making it practical for installation in confined spaces such as boat engine rooms or vehicle bays.
Product Overview
The MultiPlus Compact combines a sine wave inverter and a multi-stage battery charger in one enclosure. When AC input is available from shore power or a generator, the unit passes power through to connected loads and simultaneously charges the battery bank. When AC input is lost or disconnected, the transfer switch operates in under 20 milliseconds, switching loads to inverter power without interruption to most equipment.
The 80A charger uses Victron's adaptive charge curve, which adjusts charge behaviour based on battery usage patterns over time. This is particularly relevant in cyclic applications such as marine or off-grid use, where batteries are regularly discharged and recharged. The PowerControl and PowerAssist functions are practically useful where the available AC supply is limited: PowerControl prevents the generator or shore supply from being overloaded by reducing charger input, while PowerAssist draws on battery reserves to cover short-term load peaks that exceed the AC input capacity.
VE.Bus connectivity means the unit can be configured, monitored and updated using Victron's VEConfigure software and compatible GX devices. Multiple units can be connected in parallel for increased capacity, or in split-phase and three-phase configurations where the installation requires it.

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 an appropriately rated 12V battery bank with correctly sized DC cabling and fusing. For any grid-connected or generator-fed installation, ensure compliance with current UK wiring regulations (BS 7671) and any applicable network operator requirements. VE.Bus configuration requires Victron's VEConfigure software and a suitable interface cable or GX device. Do not install in locations exposed to direct moisture ingress without appropriate enclosure protection.
