Specifications
Product Description
The Victron MultiPlus C 12V 1600VA 12/1600/70-16 combines a pure sine wave inverter and an ultra-fast battery charger in a single unit, designed for 12 V systems in caravans, boats, and off-grid homes. Its high-performance electronics provide stable power for sensitive devices, intelligent energy management with PowerControl/PowerAssist, and automatic 16 A transfer switching that acts as a UPS, maintaining uninterrupted power supply without noticeable interruptions.
Main Features
- Inverter power: 1600 VA (≈1300 W continuous at 25 °C); peak ≈3200 W.
- Integrated 70 A charger with multi-stage algorithms for lead-acid (AGM/GEL) and lithium.
- Automatic 16 A transfer switching with typical transfer time <20 ms.
- PowerAssist and PowerControl functions to support peaks and limit grid or generator input.
- VE.Bus communications for monitoring/settings and the possibility of connection to Cerbo GX and VRM.
- High efficiency and eco/search mode to minimize standby consumption.
Advantages or Benefits
- Protection of sensitive electronics thanks to its pure sine wave and fast transfer.
- More available power without oversizing the generator: the battery supports brief peaks.
- Flexible configuration: selectable charging profiles and remote/automation control.
- Clean and compact installation: inverter and charger in a single chassis.
- Professional scalability with the Victron ecosystem (GX, BMV/SmartShunt, VictronConnect, VRM).
Purpose or Applications
Ideal solution for campers and motorhomes with medium consumption, recreational boats, off-grid residences with essential appliances, remote telecom sites, and as a residential UPS in 12 V systems with priority on continuity.
