The nerve centre of a serious campervan power system. The Victron MultiPlus 12/1600/70-16 combines a 1600VA pure sine wave inverter, 70A adaptive battery charger, and high-speed AC transfer switch in a single compact unit — shore power, battery backup, and PowerAssist all in one.

Benefits:

• True sine wave inverter — safe for all sensitive electronics

• 70A battery charger with four-stage adaptive charging

• AC transfer in under 20ms — computers and appliances don’t notice the switch

• PowerAssist boosts limited shore or generator supply using battery power

• PowerControl limits input draw to protect weak supply circuits

• Dual battery bank charging — charges starter and leisure simultaneously

• Up to 6 units in parallel for higher output

• Remote monitoring via Cerbo GX and VRM portal

Features:

The MultiPlus 12/1600/70-16 is the most capable single-unit power solution for campervan builds that need mains-quality AC power. When plugged into shore power at a campsite, it charges your battery at up to 70A while simultaneously powering your 230V appliances. If shore power fails or you unplug, it switches to inverter mode in under 20ms — so fast that computers, modems and TVs continue uninterrupted. PowerAssist means a weak 10A campsite supply can still support momentary peaks — the unit draws from the battery to meet demand spikes. Search Mode reduces idle draw when no AC load is detected. Configurable via VE.Bus with MK3-USB interface and VictronConnect. Compatible with Cerbo GX for full system monitoring via Victron’s free VRM portal. Must be installed by a licensed electrical installer. Download the datasheet below.

People are asking

What does the MultiPlus do that a basic inverter can’t?

It combines inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch in one unit. When connected to shore power, it charges the battery and passes AC to your loads. When shore power disappears, it switches to inverter mode in under 20ms — fast enough that computers don’t notice. A basic inverter does none of this.

What is PowerAssist?

When plugged into a limited shore or generator supply, PowerAssist boosts the available AC by drawing from the battery. For example, if your campsite supply is 10A and you briefly need 20A, the MultiPlus adds the extra 10A from the battery — preventing a tripped breaker.

Does it need professional installation?

Yes — this unit involves 230V AC mains wiring and must be installed by a qualified electrical installer. Incorrect wiring is dangerous. Please engage a licensed electrician.

Can it run while connected to shore power?

Yes — when shore power is connected, the MultiPlus passes AC to your loads and charges the battery simultaneously. It switches seamlessly between shore and battery as needed.

Does it work with lithium batteries?

Yes — the four-stage adaptive charger is compatible with lithium (LiFePO4) and all lead-acid types. Configure the charge algorithm via VE.Bus using the VictronConnect app and a MK3-USB interface.
