Description
xVictron Multiplus-II GX 5kVA AC Charger Kit with 2x Pylontech US5000
This complete kit combines the Victron Multiplus-II GX 5kVA multifunction inverter-charger with two Pylontech US5000 48V lithium batteries, providing a fully integrated AC-coupled energy storage system. The system charges the batteries from the mains grid, allowing stored energy to be used during peak tariff periods. Solar panels are not required but can be added at any time.
Key Features
- Victron Multiplus-II GX 5kVA inverter-charger with integrated GX controller
- 2x Pylontech US5000 48V 4.8kWh lithium batteries (total 9.6kWh usable)
- CT current transformer 100A with 5m cable for grid monitoring
- VE.Can to CAN-Bus BMS Type A cable 1.8m for battery communication
- 2x US5000 wall mounting brackets
- Pylontech battery interconnect cables
- 2x 160A fuses and DC disconnector
- MK3-USB interface for system configuration via VictronConnect
- Suitable for properties with existing solar PV and feed-in tariff contracts
Product Overview
The Multiplus-II GX charges the Pylontech battery bank from the mains supply using low-cost electricity, typically overnight on off-peak tariffs. The stored energy is then discharged during the day or during peak-rate periods, reducing electricity costs without the need for solar panels.
The system is certified for connection to properties with existing solar PV and feed-in tariff arrangements. The existing FIT earnings are unaffected, as the Multiplus-II GX is connected in parallel with the existing solar system. The CT sensor enables PowerControl and PowerAssist, preventing the system from drawing more current than the available supply allows.
The Pylontech US5000 delivers 4800Wh nominal energy per unit at 48V, with a 95% depth of discharge and a design life of 15 years. Communication between the Multiplus-II GX and the batteries is handled via the VE.Can to CAN-Bus BMS cable included in the kit.
