May 27, 20197 yr Hello guys. I want to upgrade my 800VA Multi, I don't really have enough money to throw around and upgrade to 48V so I am just looking for a bigger 24V replacement. 1600VA Multiplus preferred, but a 1200VA should also do the job. Kind Regards PJ

The second one is priced more than a new one.

Yup, and the owner of the 1600VA Multi has been trying to flog that thing for ages (At that stupid price). I am also entirely open to 3000VA models, if its reasonably priced.

Shoot me. 😋 No seriously, it did it quick but the idea was to show to search on like Gumtree ... interestingly 2nd hand Victron equipment is again quite scarce. 2 hours ago, PJJ said: Yup, and the owner of the 1600VA Multi has been trying to flog that thing for ages (At that stupid price). What I do in cases like that, I make an offer I am prepared to pay. Sometimes it is yes, sometime no and other time few months later, the seller contacted me back, you still want it at that price you offered. 🙂 Remember: The answer is no, but you are still allowed to ask. 2 hours ago, plonkster said: The second one is priced more than a new one. Pray tell where you can get a 1600VA Multiplus for R10k?

May 28, 20197 yr Just now, PJJ said: 1600 Multi compact is R10590 excl at Current Automation. Correct. That is R 12 178.50 cl VAT. 🙂 Just now, PJJ said: The problem there is, then I will need to go 48V... Yes, I feel you, same here, 24v or 48v - HUGE difference if you like me match the load to the batts - and have to replace the bank one day. Therefor I got a 24v Multigird. Point is if you buy a Multiplus 3000va then chances are you are going to connect it grid tied and then few years from now, maybe, you need to register it and then you may want to get one that is NRS certification.

Soooooo, when are you ready to sever family bonds and sell me your Multi?
