It lets products such as Multi, MultiGrid, MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II, and Quattro inverter chargers connect to a computer for configuration and firmware updates. If you own a Victron inverter charger, or you install them, this is the adapter that turns \"I wonder what that setting does\" into \"I just changed it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will not power your fridge or charge your batteries, and it has no flashy display.

Leaving a system on factory settings may work for a basic installation, but it does not let you tailor behavior to your batteries and loads. Using a connected computer opens up configuration and firmware updates that other methods may not offer. The manufacturer listing also refers to an MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB) interface.
