xVictron MultiPlus 24/3000/70-16 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger
The Victron MultiPlus 24/3000/70-16 is a combined inverter and battery charger designed for off-grid, backup and marine or vehicle applications running on a 24V battery bank. It delivers 3000VA of continuous AC output at 230V and includes a 70A battery charger, making it a practical single-unit solution for installations where both inversion and charging are required.
Key Features
- 3000VA continuous inverter output with 230V AC, suitable for demanding off-grid and backup loads.
- 70A multi-stage battery charger built in, supporting a wide range of 24V battery chemistries including AGM, gel, lithium and flooded lead-acid.
- 16A AC transfer switch with PowerControl and PowerAssist functions, allowing the unit to supplement shore or generator power rather than replace it entirely.
- VE.Bus communication interface for system integration, remote monitoring and configuration via Victron GX devices or VEConfigure software.
- Virtually unlimited parallel and three-phase capability: multiple units can be stacked to increase capacity or configured for three-phase output.
- UPS-grade transfer time of less than 20ms, ensuring uninterrupted supply to sensitive loads during a mains failure.
- Programmable relay for generator start, alarm or other auxiliary functions.
Product Overview
The MultiPlus combines a true sine wave inverter with a sophisticated battery charger in a single enclosure. The inverter section produces a clean 230V AC sine wave from a 24V DC battery bank, with a 3000VA continuous rating and a 6000VA peak surge capacity to handle motor start loads. The charger uses an adaptive multi-stage algorithm that adjusts to battery condition over time, which extends battery service life compared to fixed-rate charging.
PowerAssist is one of the more practically useful features for installations with a limited AC supply, such as a shore power connection or a small generator. When the connected AC source approaches its current limit, the MultiPlus draws the shortfall from the battery bank rather than overloading the source. This means a 16A shore supply can support loads that would otherwise exceed it, without tripping a breaker or overloading a generator. PowerControl performs the same function as a static current limiter when PowerAssist is not required.
VE.Bus connectivity allows the MultiPlus to be integrated into a wider Victron system. It can be monitored and configured remotely via a Cerbo GX or other GX device, and multiple units can be paralleled for higher output or wired in a split configuration for three-phase systems. This makes the 24/3000/70-16 a scalable building block rather than a fixed-capacity unit.

Applications
- Off-grid residential and cabin systems with a 24V battery bank requiring both inversion and charging from a generator or shore supply.
- Marine installations where shore power is available in port but battery-backed AC is needed at sea.
- Vehicle and motorhome conversions requiring 230V AC output from a 24V house battery system.
- Critical backup power for IT equipment, communications or medical devices where sub-20ms transfer time is required.
- Scalable multi-unit systems where parallel stacking or three-phase output is needed as load requirements grow.

Installation Notes
Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician familiar with DC battery systems and 230V AC wiring. The MultiPlus is not certified for grid-tied export in the UK and should not be connected to the public grid without appropriate isolation and compliance measures. For systems incorporating lithium batteries, battery-specific charge parameters must be configured using VEConfigure or a compatible GX device before commissioning. DC cable sizing and fusing must be appropriate for the high currents involved at 24V. Secure the unit in a well-ventilated location away from flammable materials.
