So now I got your attention wondering what the hell a Spannungswandler is and if you need one, read on
This is the Victron Phoenix 12/500 Inverter.

It is a Pure Sine Wave Inverter rated at 400W (or 500VA - hence the 12/500 spec) and is a superb piece of kit.
I used it to run my 230V Compressor Fridge but I have decided to get a Victron Multiplus Charger-Inverter as that talks to the Victron VRM setup. But if you don't have VRM then you really won't care about that!
So now having the Multiplus, I have no further requirement for the seperate Inverter (the surplus solo Charger will be handy though so keeping hold of that )
It is in virtually as-new condition, as you can see from the photos below

It is the SCHUKO socket model. I chose this version as it is shake-proof compared to the UK13A Socket and I will include a SCHUKO to 13A Adapter with the Inverter.
The only marks I can see on the inverter is on the mounting holes where the lugs have been marked by the fixing screws

The Inverter comes in the original packaging and box

I bought this inverter just over 13 months ago

This means that it still has 3 years 11 months of Manufacturers Warranty left, which is a great deal more than the typical warranty you might buy brand-new from Amazon, eBay or your local Shop on a non-Victron unit.
The best price I can find on-line for the 12/500 model is £150.
I am looking for just £105 plus postage for this excellent product
PS . Spannungswandler? It's German for Inverter
