VANPOWER 12-230 Electric Kit — The versatile 12V + 230V pack

The Victron + Lithium kit that also powers your 230V devices "just like at home": PC, coffee maker, microwave, kettle, mains charger. Integrated inverter from 600 to 2000 W to choose from, with mains charging via automatic bypass.

👉 The VANPOWER 12-230 is the right choice if: you want to plug 230V devices into your van (PC, coffee maker, microwave…) and a classic switch panel suits you. It offers the best versatility/price ratio in the range.

🔌 The advantage of the 12-230 version: the integrated inverter

• 12V → 230V inverter options: 600 W / 1000 W / 1500 W / 2000 W
• Integrated 20A AC/DC mains charger with automatic bypass: charges the battery from mains while powering connected devices (no need for an additional external charger)
• All-in-one in a single device — less wiring than a "separate inverter + charger" setup

⚡ Which inverter power to choose?

• 600 W — laptop and small low-power 230V devices
• 1000 W — a small 230V accessory like a mini microwave
• 1500 W — powerful device like a kettle around 1200 W
• 2000 W — several devices at once (coffee maker + microwave…)

💡 Tip: a 2000 W inverter consumes a lot of energy. For this setup, prefer at least a 200 Ah battery.

🔋 Choose your autonomy

• 200 Ah — regular use: several days of autonomy, daily 230V, multiple accessories
• 314 Ah — long-term autonomy: full-time van life (kit available here)

⚡ Included components (Victron quality)

• Lithium LiFePO4 Bluetooth Battery — 200 Ah
• 12V / 230V inverter with integrated 20A AC/DC charger (automatic bypass) — 600 to 2000 W 
• Victron Orion-TR Smart 12-12 / 30A DC/DC charger: charges the battery while driving
• Victron SmartSolar MPPT regulator 100/30: compatible with 300 to 500 W solar panels
• 12V fuse holder (distribution box)
• Switch panel with charging sockets
• Circuit breaker pack + fuses + electrical terminals
• Detailed wiring diagram + step-by-step tutorial

Important — Bluetooth monitoring included on all 4 kits: all Victron components in this kit (LiFePO4 battery, solar MPPT, DC/DC Orion-TR Smart, mains charger) can be monitored via the VictronConnect app on your smartphone — you see real-time battery charge status, solar production, and consumption. The SMART distinction only concerns the control of 12V switches (turning lights, sockets, and ventilation on/off from your phone).

❓ Frequently asked questions

Q: Difference with the VANPOWER SMART 12-230? A: The SMART includes a Bluetooth switch box controllable via smartphone (turn lights, ventilation, and 12V sockets on/off) and is easier to wire. Victron system monitoring is common to both. Price difference: €150.

Q: What is the inverter’s automatic bypass? A: When connected to mains (camping, 230V parking), the inverter automatically "switches": it powers your 230V devices directly from mains and charges the battery in parallel. No manual action, no risk of error.

Q: I need an inverter more powerful than 2000 W, is that possible? A: For higher needs (e.g., induction hob, air conditioner), contact our team for a custom quote including a Multiplus inverter.

Q: Compatible with a VASP registration certificate? A: Yes. All components are CE / R10 certified, compliant with VASP requirements in France.
