The ultimate in off grid micro-functionality
A combined inverter and charger in one elegant package. The ultimate in off grid micro-functionality for camper vans, RVs, boats, and off-grid homes.
The MultiPlus is a combined inverter and charger in one elegant package. Due to its versatility, programmable settings, and rich features we have found the Multiplus to be the ultimate in off grid micro-functionality - like vans, RVs, boats, and off-grid homes. Its many features include a true sine wave inverter, adaptive charging, hybrid PowerAssist technology, plus multiple system integration features. The unique power assist allows for safe charging using generators, shore power, or other power sources and the uninterrupted energy supply (UPS) function means no downtime in the case of power disruption (it seamlessly transitions to battery power). The 2,000 watt inverter allow you to use 12V Dakota Lithium batteries to power household electronics that require 120V AC (the wall plug in your home) and is a good size to run a medium sized TV, stereo, fridge, small kitchen appliances, computers, or other home electronics. Datasheet available here. Users with larger systems can add on the Digital Multi-Control panel for easier remote access. Please note: the recommenced battery size for this inverter is 200 Ah in Dakota Lithium batteries or larger.
What is an inverter?
This inverter will allow you to transform solar energy coming from solar panels, or stored energy coming from batteries into AC power, the power that you use in your home. This allows you to plug any electronics that have an AC wall plug into this inverter.
Inverter Rating
12 Volts, 2,000 watts. For use with 12V batteries to power anything that uses AC power (the power in your wall socket)
Optimized for Solar Energy
Compatible with solar panels. For higher efficiency we recommend using with a battery and a solar charge controller.
How does this fit into my off-grid, home power system?
This inverter and charger combo makes it easy to use energy available from your batteries in the form of an AC wall plug. The Multiplus inverter connects to your Dakota Lithium batteries and can charge them via the alternator in a gasoline engine, via solar panels, or via shore power. If you are charging your batteries with solar panels you will want a solar charge controller. The remote monitoring capabilities will tell you how much power your have available at any time.
Recommended Battery Size
Recommenced battery size for this inverter is a 2X the 100 Ah Dakota Lithium battery or larger.
Unique PowerAssist feature
The MultiPlus will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery.
Uninterrupted AC power (UPS function)
In the event of a grid failure, or when shore or generator power is disconnected, the inverter within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.
Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation
Up to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Three phase or split phase operation is also possible. Please check our datasheets to see which models have paralleling, three phase and split phase capabilities.
Remote Monitoring and Control
When coupled with a GX device (e.g. Cerbo GX) you can monitor and control your Multi and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website. Access can be from a phone, tablet, laptop or PC for multiple operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, from adjusting your Multi to auto starting a backupgenerator and more…
Charge Current
Charge house batteries at 50 amps or 80 amps an hour. Programmable settings allow for use with any batteries (Dakota Lithium like to be charged at 14.4 volts).
