Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter 12/500 12V 500VA VE.Direct

Product Description The Phoenix 12/500 VE.Direct is a great fit when you need dependable 230 V power from a 12 V battery without jumping up to a larger inverter. Because it’s pure sine wave, it behaves much more like mains power, which makes a real difference for chargers, laptops and other sensitive kit. The VE.Direct port gives you a clean route into setup and monitoring. With the right accessories you can connect to a computer, or use a Bluetooth Smart dongle to view performance and change settings from a phone or tablet. That means you can set sensible battery protection thresholds, tweak ECO mode behaviour, and keep an eye on load and alarms without guesswork. It’s a tidy, reliable solution for smaller systems where you want quality power and sensible configurability in a compact package. Key Features Pure sine wave output – Clean 230 V AC that’s safe for sensitive electronics. VE.Direct communication port – Simple monitoring and configuration with the right cable or Bluetooth dongle.
