Product Overview
The Victron VE.Direct 800VA Inverter is a compact pure sine wave inverter designed to convert 12V, 24V or 48V DC battery power into usable AC power for domestic equipment, tools and small backup power loads. It is suitable for off-grid, backup, vehicle, camping, marine and small energy systems where reliable AC output is required from a battery bank.
With VE.Direct communication, configurable operating settings and ECO mode, this inverter gives installers and users practical control over battery protection, output settings and power-saving behaviour. It is available in 12V, 24V and 48V variants.
Key Features
-
800VA inverter rating: Provides AC power for suitable small appliances, electronics and tools within the inverter’s rated capacity.
-
Pure sine wave output: Designed to power domestic equipment requiring 230V or 120V AC, depending on the specific model configuration.
-
VE.Direct communication port: Allows configuration and monitoring through compatible Victron accessories, including a VE.Direct to USB interface cable or VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle, sold separately.
-
Configurable operating settings: Supports adjustment of low battery alarm levels, low battery cut-off and restart levels, dynamic cut-off, output voltage, frequency and ECO mode settings.
-
ECO mode: Switches the inverter to standby when the load drops below a set value, helping reduce idle power consumption.
-
High start-up power: Designed to help start demanding loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps and electric tools, within the inverter’s limits.
-
Built-in protection: Protected against output short circuit, overload, high or low battery voltage, high temperature and excessive DC ripple.
-
Remote on/off support: A remote on/off switch can be connected to the inverter for easier system control.
Applications
- Small off-grid and backup power systems
- Battery-based power for homes, cabins, farms and workshops
- Camping, caravan, vehicle and marine power systems
- Powering suitable AC loads from 12V, 24V or 48V battery banks
- Installations where low standby consumption and configurable battery protection are useful
Why Choose This Product?
The Victron VE.Direct 800VA Inverter is a practical option for customers who need reliable AC power from a DC battery system without moving into a larger inverter-charger setup. Its configurable VE.Direct platform, ECO mode and proven inverter design make it well suited to small backup and off-grid applications where efficiency, reliability and battery protection matter.
Important Notes
- This inverter must be correctly matched to the battery voltage of the system. Choose the 12V, 24V or 48V variant according to your battery bank.
- VE.Direct accessories such as the VE.Direct to USB interface cable and VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle are referenced by Victron as compatible connection options, but are not confirmed as included with the inverter.
- The current Victron datasheet lists the 800VA model at 650 W continuous output at 25 °C and 560 W at 40 °C. Confirm whether the product title should still refer to 700W before publishing.
- Installation and system integration should be carried out by a suitably qualified installer or electrician.
- Final AC outlet type may depend on the exact model supplied. Confirm the outlet configuration before purchase if a specific plug/socket format is required.
