Description
Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Battery Charger (for marine applications with VHF interference fixed)
The Orion XS, engineered from the ground up, redefines DC-DC battery-to-battery charging. Ideal for dual battery systems charged by an intelligent alternator.
This device not only ensures top-tier performance but also guarantees the safety of your system.
Stay in charge with configurable input and output currents and rest assured that your Orion XS will run at full capacity up to 40°C. The 98,5% efficient aluminum circuit board technology means less heat, without the need for fans.
As an integral part of your Victron system, the Orion XS offers full (remote) monitoring and control capabilities, giving you complete command of your device and system.
Parallel to increasing output current
An unlimited number of Orion XS devices can be connected in parallel, for easy output current scaling to meet system requirements.
Smart alternator compatibility
With its built-in engine running detection, the Orion XS guarantees the charger only draws power when the engine is running. It also helps retrieve a proper charge current from intelligent alternators as found in Euro 5 & Euro 6 engines.
Adaptive charge algorithm
The Orion XS features customizable and preset charging algorithms for lithium and lead-acid batteries, ensuring optimal recharging, for both shallow and deep discharges.
Complete electronic protection
The Orion XS comes equipped with comprehensive electronic protection against overload, short circuits, and excessive temperatures. It will automatically reduce the output power when the maximum product temperature is reached.
Low-temperature shutdown & under voltage protection
To prevent damage to lithium batteries, the charger will turn off automatically at low temperatures and when the input voltage drops below a user-configurable lockout value, protecting the starter battery from deep discharge.
Dust & waterproof
The Orion XS is designed to withstand dust and water pollution and has an IP65 classification.
Safely combine any alternator with any battery
When the engine is off, the Orion XS isolates the service battery, so no power is drawn from the starter battery. Turn the engine on.
Smart has never looked so simple
With multiple automated safety and efficiency features, the Orion XS is truly a smart addition to any vehicle or marine system with dual batteries. That doesn’t mean that it should be a complicated one. We made sure integrating and controlling are as simple as can be.
