Nope. The whole purpose of installing the Victron Multiplus II was to be able to connect it directly the my transfer switch w/o using a sub panel.

My fridge is AC or propane so I can force it into propane mode, and my water heater is propane only.

Yes, my two ACs could run off my batteries as well as other appliances like an AC heater.

However, my inverter is set to shut off when battery voltage drops below a preset voltage.
