Victron EasyPlus Compact 12/1600/70-16: Integrated Inverter/Charger with AC Distribution

All-in-One Power Solution for Caravans, Marine, and Off-Grid Systems

The Victron EasyPlus Compact 12/1600/70-16 combines a 1600VA pure sine wave inverter, a 70A adaptive battery charger, a 16A automatic transfer switch, and integrated AC distribution in a single, space-saving enclosure. Designed for those who want a complete energy system without complex component integration, this unit simplifies installation while delivering reliable power for mobile and off-grid applications.

With its compact dimensions (510 x 214 x 110 mm) and lightweight 11.7 kg build, the EasyPlus is ideal for caravan inverter charger setups, marine inverter charger installations, and off-grid inverter charger systems where space is at a premium. The integrated RCD (30 mA/16 A) and four AC output circuit breakers (two 10 A, two 16 A) provide ready-to-use power distribution, eliminating the need for external consumer units.

Seamless Power Transfer and Backup

The high-speed 16A transfer switch ensures uninterrupted power to connected loads during grid or generator outages. With a transfer time of less than 20 milliseconds, sensitive electronics such as computers and medical equipment continue operating without disruption. The main output provides no-break functionality, while a controlled AC output (one 16 A breaker) activates only when shore or generator power is available—perfect for loads like water heaters that should not drain the battery.

Advanced PowerControl and PowerAssist

The EasyPlus features PowerControl to manage limited shore or generator power. By setting a maximum input current via a control panel, the unit automatically adjusts battery charging to prevent overloads. PowerAssist takes this further by supplementing insufficient shore power with battery energy during peak demands, then recharging when loads decrease. This is invaluable for caravan power systems and marine electrical systems where shore power is often limited.

Efficient Battery Charging and Solar Integration

The 70A adaptive charger delivers fast, intelligent charging for house batteries, with a 4A trickle charge for starter batteries. It supports absorption (14.4V), float (13.8V), and storage (13.2V) modes to maximise battery life. The unit integrates seamlessly with solar inverter charger setups, allowing AC power availability even during grid failures when paired with MPPT solar chargers or grid-tie inverters.

Scalable and Configurable

For larger systems, up to six EasyPlus units can operate in parallel for higher output, and three units can be configured for three-phase power. Configuration is straightforward via DIP switches for standalone use, or VE.Bus software for advanced setups. Remote monitoring and control are possible through Victron GX devices and the VRM portal, providing real-time data and remote configuration capabilities.
