VICTRON CEP121620000 - EasyPlus 12V 1600VA 70A 230V VE.BUS Inverter/Charger
Complete multifunctional energy system combining powerful 1600VA pure sine wave inverter, sophisticated 70A battery charger, high-speed AC transfer switch, and AC distribution in single compact unit featuring unique PowerAssist® technology automatically boosting shore or generator power with battery energy preventing overloads, dual circuit management separating inverter-supported loads from shore-only heavy user circuits protecting batteries from excessive discharge, integrated 30mA RCD providing earth leakage protection, adjustable shore current limit via front panel dial, VE.Bus communication enabling system monitoring and control, pre-fitted battery cables and plug-in AC connections enabling five-step installation, ideal for caravans, RVs, motorhomes, marine vessels, and off-grid applications requiring uninterrupted power with intelligent shore power management and automatic battery charging.
Product Overview
The Victron CEP121620000 EasyPlus is a multifunctional energy system engineered to provide complete power management in a single compact enclosure, eliminating the need to purchase and install separate inverter, charger, transfer switch, and distribution components. The system connects between shore power or generator input and your electrical loads, intelligently managing power distribution to ensure uninterrupted operation while protecting batteries from excessive discharge. Power consumers are divided into two groups: regular loads including lighting, sockets, kitchen equipment, and entertainment systems receive power from either shore supply or the 1600VA pure sine wave inverter; heavy user circuits such as water heaters and air-conditioning operate on shore power only, preventing battery drain from high-consumption appliances. The unique PowerAssist® technology monitors shore or generator supply and automatically supplements with inverter power when the input reaches its limit, preventing breaker trips while maximizing total available current - particularly valuable when using small generators or limited shore power connections. The sophisticated 70A battery charger replenishes batteries whenever shore or generator power is available, while the high-speed AC transfer switch ensures seamless changeover between power sources maintaining continuous operation of connected equipment.
Important Notes:
Professional Installation Recommended: System involves 230V AC shore power connections and 12V DC battery wiring requiring automotive electrical expertise ensuring safe installation and proper grounding.
Shore Current Adjustment Critical: Front panel dial must be set to maximum available shore or generator current preventing breaker trips while enabling PowerAssist® functionality.
Heavy User Circuit Limitations: Air-conditioning, water heaters, and high-wattage appliances must connect to shore-only output to protect batteries - these loads will not operate when inverter is active.
Battery Bank Sizing Required: Adequate battery capacity essential for inverter operation - consult Victron dealer or installer for proper battery bank sizing based on expected loads and backup time requirements.
VE.Bus Accessories Sold Separately: Remote monitoring, control panels, and smartphone connectivity require additional Victron VE.Bus compatible devices purchased separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is PowerAssist® technology and how does it work?
A: PowerAssist® monitors shore or generator supply and automatically adds battery power through the inverter when the input reaches its limit. Example: if shore is limited to 10A but loads need 15A, PowerAssist® draws 10A from shore and adds 5A from batteries, preventing breaker trips while providing full power needed.
Q: Why can't I run my air-conditioner or water heater from the inverter?
A: The EasyPlus separates loads into two circuits for battery protection. Regular loads (lighting, sockets, appliances) work on either shore or battery power. Heavy loads (air-con, water heaters) connect to shore-only output preventing rapid battery depletion from high-wattage appliances that would require massive battery banks.
Q: How do I know what size battery bank I need for the EasyPlus?
A: Calculate total watts of loads you'll run on inverter, divide by 12V for amps, multiply by desired runtime hours. Example: 600W loads = 50A draw, for 4 hours needs 200Ah usable (400Ah lead-acid at 50% discharge, or smaller AGM/lithium banks). Consult Victron dealers for precise sizing based on your usage patterns.
Q: Is installation really as simple as the "5-step" process suggests?
A: The EasyPlus simplifies installation with pre-fitted battery cables and plug-in AC connections, but professional installation is recommended. Five steps: mount bracket, connect AC circuits, connect optional control panel, connect battery cables, switch on. While mechanically straightforward, involves 230V AC and 12V DC work requiring electrical expertise for safe installation, proper cable sizing, and correct grounding.
Q: Can I monitor and control the EasyPlus remotely or via smartphone?
A: Yes, via additional Victron VE.Bus accessories sold separately. Options include Color Control GX or Cerbo GX monitoring panels for local display, VictronConnect Bluetooth dongles for smartphone app control (iOS/Android), and VRM portal for internet-based remote monitoring worldwide tracking system performance, battery health, and power consumption.
