What to do if the alarm LED flashes on my Victron energy MultiPlus 1600VA?
- B
  Brian JohnsonAug 4, 2025
  If the alarm LED on your Victron energy Inverter is flashing, it could be due to several reasons: * The DC input voltage is low: Charge the battery or check the battery connections. * The ambient temperature is too high: Place the inverter in a cool and well-ventilated room, or reduce the load. * The load on the inverter is higher than the nominal load: Reduce the load. * Voltage ripple on the DC input exceeds 1.25Vrms: Check the battery cables and terminals, and increase battery capacity if necessary. * Low battery voltage and excessive load: Charge the batteries, reduce the load, install batteries with a higher capacity and use shorter and/or thicker battery cables.

Why Victron energy Inverter battery is not being charged fully?
- A
  Alexander KingAug 10, 2025
  If the battery is not being fully charged by your Victron energy Inverter, consider the following potential causes: * Incorrect charging current: Set the charging current at between 0.1 and 0.2x battery capacity. * A defective battery connection: Check the battery terminals. * The absorption voltage has been set to an incorrect value: Adjust the absorption voltage to the correct value. * The float voltage has been set to an incorrect value: Adjust the float voltage to the correct value. * The internal DC fuse is defective: The inverter is damaged.

  If the alarm LED is on your Victron energy Inverter, it indicates that the inverter did cut out following a pre-alarm. You should check the table for the appropriate course of action.

Why does the battery charge current drop to 0 when the absorption voltage is reached on my Victron energy MultiPlus 1600VA Inverter?
- L

  If the battery charge current drops to 0 when the absorption voltage is reached on your Victron energy Inverter, it could be due to: * Battery overtemperature (> 50°C): Allow battery to cool down, place battery in a cool environment and check for shorted cells. * Battery temperature sensor faulty: Unplug battery temperature sensor from the Multi. Reset the Multi by switching it off, then wait for 4 seconds and switch it on again. If the Multi now charges normally, the battery temperature sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced.
