Which Victron charger/inverter all in one or seperate?

I have 4 6v T-125 Trojan Deep Cycle batteries wired in series to create 2 x 12v 240ah banks plus one HD 12v cranking battery on my boat. I am changing the battery charger and also adding a 3kw inverter. Has anyone any suggestions as to which Victron product/s to look at. The shore power that we will be using is 16a 240v in the UK, I am thinking that the Victron MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120-32 230V is the way forward??


Thanks :-)

Straight multiplus II 3000 sounds good. Not sure where the other number came from. USA model, perhaps.

But. Not sure how you can wire 12V batteries in series to get a 12V bank. Or are those Trojans 6V? And you'll have to treat all batteries as a single bank in parallel for wiring.

If you also want to charge the starter battery, I suggest adding an Orion TR Smart to provide the necessary isolation and independent charge control.

The Trojans are 6v (I edited the first post to reflect that)

Ideal thanks for the input too :-) We already have and Adverc battery system would you replace that with the Orion TE Smart?
