Collection: Charger/Inverter Combos

A single unit that handles both shore power charging and DC-to-AC inversion simplifies the electrical setup on any vessel, and the options here from Mastervolt and Xantrex cover a wide range of boat sizes and power demands. Mastervolt's CombiMaster and PowerCombi lines run on either 12V or 24V DC and span from 1200W to 3000W of inverter output, with charger ratings from 40 to 100 amps. The Xantrex Freedom 458 series rounds out the selection with 2000W and 2500W models suited to North American shore power. Mastervolt also offers 230V variants for boats equipped for European marina connections.

Before choosing, confirm your house bank voltage, the AC shore power standard your boat uses, and how much continuous inverter power your largest loads actually require. Higher charger amperage means faster battery recovery after heavy use, which matters on passages without reliable hookups. The Mastervolt ChargeMaster Plus handles two battery banks separately, worth noting if your setup splits engine and house batteries. Xantrex suits straightforward North American installations, while Mastervolt's broader line fits more varied or demanding configurations.
