The Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 is a high‑performance 48V inverter/charger that combines a powerful true sine wave inverter, advanced battery charger and high‑speed automatic transfer switch in a single compact unit. Designed for both domestic and professional energy storage systems, it delivers 5000VA / 4000W of continuous power with intelligent control features to maximise self‑consumption, protect supplies and keep critical loads running during grid outages.
This multifunctional unit supports Energy Storage System (ESS) applications, integrating seamlessly with solar PV and other generation sources while providing grid‑tied, backup or fully off‑grid operation. With proven Victron reliability, flexible configuration options and extensive approvals, it is an ideal choice for homeowners, installers and trade professionals seeking a robust, future‑ready power solution.
Key Features
- All‑in‑one inverter/charger – Combines 48V DC to 230V AC pure sine wave inverter, 70A battery charger and 50A transfer switch in one compact enclosure, simplifying system design and installation.
- ESS‑ready for solar and storage – Integrated Energy Storage System functionality makes it suitable for both off‑grid and grid‑connected PV systems, supporting self‑consumption and backup power strategies.
- PowerControl and PowerAssist – External current sensing (up to 32A typical, with options up to 50–100A depending on system design) allows the unit to limit grid or generator draw and supplement peak loads from the battery when needed.[1]
- High continuous and peak power – Delivers 5000VA / 4000W continuous output (at 25°C) with up to 9000W peak power for starting demanding loads such as pumps, compressors and power tools.
- Advanced battery charging – Adaptive 70A charger with configurable charge profiles and temperature‑compensated charging to optimise battery life and performance for lithium and lead‑acid chemistries.
- Flexible monitoring and control – Supports on‑site configuration via VEConfigure and MK3‑USB, plus remote monitoring and management through GX devices and online portals.
- Scalable system design – VE.Bus connectivity allows parallel and three‑phase configurations, enabling higher power and redundancy in larger residential or commercial systems.
- Robust and installation‑friendly – Steel enclosure with IP22 protection, straightforward wiring access and clear documentation to speed up professional installation and commissioning.
- Global approvals and safety – Built‑in anti‑islanding and compliance with key international standards support use in a wide range of countries and grid environments.
Why Buy
- Increase energy independence – Combine with batteries and solar to reduce reliance on the grid, lower electricity bills and maintain power during outages.
- Protect your essential circuits – High‑speed transfer switching and robust inverter power help keep critical household or business loads running when the mains fails.
- Optimise use of solar – ESS capability allows you to store surplus PV energy and use it later, improving self‑consumption and overall system efficiency.
- Future‑proof your installation – Scalable architecture, rich communication interfaces and firmware upgradability make it ready for evolving energy tariffs, storage strategies and smart home integrations.
- Trusted professional brand – Victron has a long track record in off‑grid and battery storage solutions, widely trusted by installers in marine, automotive and residential sectors.
Suitable For
- Home battery storage – Residential systems combining solar, batteries and grid connection for self‑consumption and backup power.
- Off‑grid homes and cabins – Remote properties requiring a reliable 230V AC supply from batteries, solar and generators.
- Small commercial and light industrial – Workshops, offices and agricultural sites needing stable power and peak‑load support.
- Marine and mobile applications – Boats, motorhomes and specialist vehicles using 48V battery banks with high AC load demands.
- Hybrid and backup systems – Installations where grid, generator and battery storage must work together seamlessly under a single control platform.
