Specifications
Product Description
The Victron MultiPlus 12V 500VA 12/500/20-16 combines a sine wave inverter and smart charger in a compact unit, perfect for caravans, boats, and small energy systems. It delivers 230 V pure sine wave with fast switching, a 20 A charger, and advanced management to protect the battery and ensure service continuity.
Main Features
- Continuous power: 430 W at 25 °C (peak 900 W); pure sine wave 230 V 50 Hz.
- Integrated 20 A charger with adaptive algorithm (absorption, float, and storage) and temperature sensor.
- Fast 16 A transfer switch to prioritize grid/generator.
- 12 V DC input (range 9.5–17 V) and high efficiency (≈90%).
- Search Mode to reduce standby consumption to ~2 W and programmable relay.
- VE.Bus communication, DIP switches, and support for remote monitoring with Victron/VRM app.
Advantages or Benefits
- Stable pure sine wave for sensitive electronics and light appliances.
- Faster and safer battery charging that extends battery bank lifespan.
- Seamless switching: continuity for critical equipment.
- Ultra-low standby consumption saves energy when not under load.
- Easy integration into Victron systems with remote control and diagnostics.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for motorhomes, 4x4s, boats, tiny houses, and small 12 V solar systems where a stable 230 V output and a reliable charger for AGM, GEL, open lead-acid, or lithium batteries are required.
