The Victron MultiPlus 12/500/20 is a compact, all-in-one inverter/charger designed for reliable performance in off-grid, marine, RV, telecommunications, and backup power systems. It combines a 500VA pure sine wave inverter, a 20A adaptive battery charger, and a high-speed AC transfer switch in a single enclosure—ideal for installations where space and efficiency matter.
It delivers efficient four-stage charging for a wide range of battery types, including Lithium, AGM, GEL, Sealed, and Flooded. An additional output is included to maintain a starter battery. High startup power makes it capable of running loads with high inrush current, such as LED drivers, halogen lights, small power tools, a small refrigerator, or even a telecom router or network switch—making it an excellent choice for remote communications sites.
Key Feature:
-
PowerControl and PowerAssist: Prevents generator or grid overloads by managing energy draw and supplementing shortfalls with battery power during peak loads.
-
Seamless AC Power: Switches to inverter mode in under 20ms to keep connected devices running without interruption during power failures.
-
Remote Monitoring and Control: Integrates with Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or other GX devices for remote system access and configuration via the free VRM portal.
-
Highly Efficient: Delivers up to 90% peak efficiency for reduced energy loss and optimal system performance.
