Description
xVictron MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120-32 230V Inverter Charger
The Victron MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120-32 is a 3000VA inverter charger operating on a 12V battery bank with a 120A battery charger and 32A AC current limiter. It is designed for off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where a single, integrated unit is needed to handle both inverting and charging duties.
Key Features
- 3000VA continuous inverter output with a 12V DC input, suitable for moderate to heavy AC loads.
- 120A multi-stage battery charger with adaptive charge algorithm, compatible with a wide range of battery chemistries including lithium, AGM, gel and flooded lead-acid.
- 32A AC input current limiter, allowing the unit to supplement shore power or generator input with battery power when the source is limited.
- PowerControl and PowerAssist functions prevent overloading of a limited AC source by drawing additional current from the battery bank as required.
- Built-in transfer switch with a typical switchover time of less than 20 milliseconds, maintaining continuity for most connected equipment.
- Two AC outputs: AC-out-1 remains live during a mains failure; AC-out-2 is disconnected when running on inverter, allowing non-critical loads to be shed automatically.
- Compatible with Victron VE.Bus for system integration, remote monitoring via GX devices, and configuration through VEConfigure software.
- Supports parallel and three-phase operation when multiple units are used together.
Product Overview
The MultiPlus-II combines a sine wave inverter, a multi-stage battery charger, and an automatic transfer switch in a single enclosure. The 120A charger output is substantial for a 12V unit, making it practical where fast battery recovery is a priority, such as after a generator run or when connected to shore power with limited availability. The adaptive charge algorithm adjusts charge parameters based on battery behaviour over time, which is particularly useful in installations where the battery bank is not always fully discharged before recharging.
PowerAssist is one of the more practically useful features for installations with a constrained AC source. When the connected load exceeds what the shore power or generator can supply alone, the unit draws the deficit from the battery bank rather than tripping the source breaker. This is especially relevant on boats, in campervans, or in off-grid cabins where the generator or shore supply has a fixed current limit. The 32A input current limit on this model is configurable, giving the installer control over how much of the source capacity is reserved for charging versus load supply.
The dual AC output configuration adds practical load management without additional switching hardware. AC-out-1 is always live when the unit is operational, while AC-out-2 drops out when the inverter is running on battery alone. This allows non-essential loads such as water heaters or air conditioning to be wired to AC-out-2, reducing battery drain automatically without any manual intervention.

Installation Notes
The MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120-32 handles high DC currents at 12V and must be installed by a qualified electrician or accredited installer. Cable sizing, fusing and battery connections must be rated appropriately for the current involved. For any grid-connected or shore-power-connected installation in the UK, compliance with current wiring regulations (BS 7671) is required. Configuration via VEConfigure is recommended before commissioning to set battery type, charge parameters and AC input current limits correctly. For marine installations, follow applicable marine wiring standards. Do not attempt installation without appropriate electrical competency.
