Inverter with Chargers (combi units)
A combination inverter and charger is used in situations where you either have AC but want DC energy or vice versa. It will use AC mains power or generator power to create DC power to charge a battery bank. But if no AC power is available it will use DC power from batteries to provide AC mains power. These units are commonly used in marine, motorhome, off-grid, portable site offices, tiny homes or transportable homes.

Victron's MultiPlus inverter/chargers allow for automatic switching between AC connections and off-grid. If grid mains power is available it will pass through the power and not use its inverter (up to 32AAC). When mains aren't available the unit will run the inverter off the connected batteries to ensure your AC power is never interrupted. The MultiPlus, has an external current transformer option to implement PowerControl and PowerAssist and to optimize self-consumption with external current sensing (max. 32A). which are used to control an auto-starting generator should battery capacity fall below your minimum preset voltages.
You can add accessory monitoring equipment like the SmartShunt or BMV 700 series to enhance your overview (including smart device connection and VRM, optional remote relay functions, and shunt battery monitoring solutions to name a few.
Tricks for first timers
Only ever consider getting a quality Pure Sine wave inverter for your mains power output like the products we provide. Consideration should be placed on the quality of your generator as its the AC output from the generator that is used to pass through the charger to recharge your flat DC batteries. If the generator has a poor quality sinewave you will not have a functional system as the inverter may not sync with the generators AC output and it won't turn on or provide any power.
