The Victron Inverter 24/500 is a compact DC-to-AC inverter for 24V battery systems, delivering 500W continuous output at 230V AC. It suits off-grid professionals, marine and vehicle installers, and anyone running a standalone inverter for moderate AC loads. A VE.Direct port allows direct connection to Victron monitoring equipment without extra interfaces.

Key features of the Victron 24/500 inverter

• Output, 500W continuous AC at 230V from a 24V DC battery bank.
• Monitoring, VE.Direct port for communication with Victron devices such as the Color Control GX and Venus GX.
• Connector, IEC socket for standard European appliances.
• Waveform, pure sine wave output, suitable for sensitive electronics and motor-driven loads.
• Protection, built-in low battery voltage, high temperature and overload protection.
• Weight, 4.025 kg, compact enough for confined spaces.

Product overview

The 24/500 belongs to Victron's VE.Direct inverter range, built for off-grid and standalone use where monitoring integration matters. Connecting it to a GX device or Victron dongle gives real-time visibility of AC output, battery state and fault conditions, with no extra converters required.

Pure sine wave output matters here. Many inverters in this power class produce a modified sine wave, which can cause issues with variable-speed motors, some battery chargers and audio equipment. The 24/500 avoids this by producing AC that matches grid quality. At 500W continuous it can run lighting circuits, small appliances, laptops and routers in off-grid cabins, boats, campervans and backup setups.

The IEC outlet format suits European and UK equipment. Onboard protection handles low battery cutoff, overtemperature shutdown and overload automatically, reducing risk to the battery or connected equipment in unattended installations.

Applications

• Off-grid cabins and remote buildings running 24V battery banks.
• Marine installations needing 230V AC from a 24V DC system.
• Campervan and motorhome conversions with 24V leisure battery setups.
• Backup power for routers, lighting and small appliances.
• Victron off-grid systems where VE.Direct monitoring is required.

Installation notes

This inverter connects to a 24V DC battery system. DC cabling must be rated for the current draw at 500W output, and the unit should sit in a well-ventilated location away from flammable materials. Installation in a fixed system should be carried out by a qualified electrician. A VE.Direct cable, sold separately, is needed to connect to a GX monitoring device.
