Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000 — Product Datasheet

The industry standard. The Victron MultiPlus-II is the most widely deployed off-grid inverter-charger in South Africa, trusted on farms, lodges, remote homes, marine, and mobile installations across the continent. This datasheet covers the 48/5000/70-50 model we hold in stock — the workhorse configuration that anchors most Victron-based off-grid and backup systems.

Key Advantages

→ 01

All-in-One Design

Combines inverter, battery charger, and high-speed AC transfer switch in a single robust steel enclosure.

→ 02

PowerAssist Technology

Boosts the capacity of a generator or shore power by adding extra power from the battery when demand peaks.

→ 03

ESS & VRM Ready

The heart of any Victron Energy Storage System with free cloud monitoring via the world-class VRM Portal.

→ 04

Scales Up Massively

Parallel up to 6 units for 30kVA single-phase, or configure for split-phase & three-phase systems.
