xVictron MultiPlus 12/800/35-16 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger
The Victron MultiPlus 12/800/35-16 is a combined inverter and battery charger in a single unit, designed for 12V battery systems with 230V AC output. It is suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power setups where a compact, reliable inverter charger is required.
Key Features
- 800VA inverter output at 230V AC, powered from a 12V DC battery bank.
- 35A battery charger built in, with a three-stage adaptive charging algorithm.
- 16A AC transfer switch allows connection to shore power or a generator, with automatic switchover.
- PowerAssist function boosts shore or generator power with battery power when demand exceeds the AC input limit.
- VE.Bus communication interface enables system integration, remote monitoring and configuration via Victron GX devices.
- Two AC outputs: one with UPS function (no-break switchover) and one that disconnects when running on inverter.
- Programmable relay for generator start, alarm or other custom functions.
Product Overview
The MultiPlus 12/800/35-16 combines a pure sine wave inverter with a multi-stage battery charger and an automatic transfer switch. When AC input is available from shore power or a generator, the unit passes power through to connected loads and simultaneously charges the battery bank at up to 35A. When AC input is lost or disconnected, the transfer switch activates in under 20 milliseconds, maintaining supply to critical loads without interruption.
The PowerAssist feature is particularly useful in installations where the available AC input is limited, such as a shore power connection with a low amperage limit. The MultiPlus can supplement the incoming AC with power drawn from the battery, allowing loads to exceed what the AC source alone could supply. This prevents tripping the shore power breaker while still meeting peak demand.
VE.Bus connectivity means the unit can be integrated into a wider Victron system. It can be configured and monitored using a GX device such as the Cerbo GX, and multiple units can be connected in parallel or in split-phase configurations where the application demands greater capacity. Configuration is carried out using VEConfigure software.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer. The unit connects to a 12V DC battery bank and to 230V AC circuits. Correct fusing and cable sizing on the DC side is essential given the high currents involved at 12V. For any grid-connected or generator-connected installation, ensure compliance with current UK wiring regulations. VE.Bus configuration requires Victron VEConfigure software and a suitable interface cable or MK3-USB adapter.
