FAQs
What is the difference between MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid?
The MultiPlus-II includes the features of the MultiGrid, with the addition of an external current transformer connection.
What battery types are compatible with the MultiPlus-II?
The MultiPlus-II is compatible with a variety of battery types, including AGM, gel, and lithium-ion. Refer to the manual for specific settings.
How do I update the firmware?
Firmware updates can be performed using the VictronConnect app and a VE.Bus Smart Dongle or MK3-USB interface.
What is PowerControl?
PowerControl limits the AC input current from a generator or shore power source to prevent overload.
What is PowerAssist?
PowerAssist augments the power from a limited AC source by drawing power from the batteries during peak loads.
How do I monitor the MultiPlus-II's performance?
Use the VictronConnect app or a GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX) to monitor voltage, current, power, and other parameters.
Can I connect solar panels directly to the MultiPlus-II?
No, you'll need a separate solar charge controller to charge the batteries from solar panels. The MultiPlus-II manages the power from the batteries and the AC source.
