Trying to estimate wall space required for a Victron system. Will have two MultiPlus-II inverters and a Lifepo Battery. I have the dimensions on a battery but don't know how much overall wall/floor space all of the equipment would take up. Planning to put it in a 10' x 15' pantry.

Each inverter's dimensions are 22.5" x 10.9" x 5.8". You'll need around 4" of clearance around the outside of each inverter.

For the units and clearance, ballpark 3' x 3' for just the inverters.

they publish actual mechanical dimensions in the back of the manuals which are downloadable online

May want to look at lynx power in or distributor for bus bars and also leave room for your sccs. Cerbo gx or similar for VRM.

I received a reply from the Victron dealer and will include it here in case others have the same question and see this thread.

He said: "For your batteries and inverters you’re looking at needing about 4x7 feet." I assume that space will accomodate the other equipment required since that is what I asked.
