Product Overview:

The Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Charger is engineered to redefine adaptive DC-DC charging. It serves as both a battery charger and a power supply, offering a wide input and output voltage range to accommodate diverse power management needs. In charger mode, its four-stage charge algorithm enhances battery life by ensuring precise charging, which is crucial for vehicles with Euro 5 or 6 smart alternators that may supply inconsistent charging voltages.

The charger's automatic buck-boost control maintains a stable output voltage regardless of input fluctuations, guaranteeing that the current never exceeds the set value, even when the input voltage surpasses the output voltage. This feature is particularly beneficial in protecting alternators in lithium battery systems from overloading due to the low impedance of lithium batteries.

Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, the Orion XS allows for easy configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect App. The VE.Direct port facilitates integration with GX devices like the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX, enabling advanced monitoring, control, and diagnostics from anywhere with an internet connection.

The charger's robust design includes an IP65 protection rating, making it dust-tight and resistant to heavy rain, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments.
