Victron MultiPlus C 12/2000/80-30 Inverter/Charger

The high-output step up from the MultiPlus 12/1600. The Victron MultiPlus C 12/2000/80-30 combines a 2000VA pure sine wave inverter, 80A battery charger, and high-speed AC transfer switch in a compact enclosure — more power, faster charging, and the same seamless shore/battery switching.

Benefits:

• 2000VA pure sine wave inverter — runs sensitive electronics, appliances and power tools

• 80A battery charger — faster charge than the 12/1600

• AC transfer in under 20ms — true UPS function, computers stay running

• PowerAssist boosts limited shore or generator supply with battery power

• PowerControl limits input draw to protect weak AC sources

• Up to 6 units in parallel for expanded output

• Remote monitoring via Cerbo GX and free VRM portal

Features:

The MultiPlus C 12/2000/80-30 is the same concept as the MultiPlus 12/1600 but with 25% more inverter output and an 80A charger — better suited to larger van builds running induction cookers, air conditioning or heavy power tools. In the event of shore power loss, the integrated inverter takes over in under 20ms — fast enough that computers, modems and streaming devices continue without interruption. PowerAssist means a weak campsite 10A supply can still support momentary peaks by drawing from the battery. Configurable via VE.Bus with MK3-USB interface. Add a Cerbo GX for full system monitoring via Victron's free VRM portal. Must be installed by a qualified electrical installer. Download the datasheet below.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the MultiPlus 12/1600 and the MultiPlus C 12/2000?

The MultiPlus C 12/2000/80-30 delivers 2000VA of inverter output (vs 1600VA) and an 80A battery charger (vs 70A), making it better suited to builds running larger appliances like induction cookers, air conditioners, or high-draw power tools. Both units include the same PowerAssist, PowerControl, and under-20ms AC transfer features. For most everyday van builds, the MultiPlus 12/1600 is sufficient; the 2000 is the choice when you need that extra headroom.

Can the MultiPlus C 12/2000 power an induction cooker or air conditioner?

A single 2000VA MultiPlus can comfortably handle most portable induction cookers (typically 1200–2000W) when paired with a sufficiently sized lithium battery bank (300Ah or more recommended). For split-system air conditioning, you'd typically need the MultiPlus-II 3000VA or a parallel configuration of multiple units. Our team at 205 Archers Road, Auckland can advise on the right setup for your specific appliance load — see our installation service.

Does this need to be installed by a licensed electrician in New Zealand?

Yes — the MultiPlus C connects to 230V mains AC (shore power) and must be installed by a registered electrician in New Zealand and a licensed electrician to Australian Standards in Australia. Our Auckland workshop installs these as part of complete campervan power systems. Contact us via our inverter installation service.
