Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Charger
The Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC charger from Victron Energy sets a new standard in adaptive battery charging for dual-battery systems. Designed from the ground up, this compact, highly efficient charger is ideal for applications with intelligent (Euro 5/6) alternators, extended cabling runs, and environments where stable, reliable power is essential. Whether you’re enhancing your marine electrical setup, outfitting an RV, or managing a commercial fleet, the Orion XS ensures your service battery is always properly charged, protected, and optimized.
Key Features:
-
Adaptive Multi-Stage Charging:
The Orion XS automatically tailors its 4-stage charge algorithm to your battery’s condition. It shortens the absorption phase during shallow discharges to prevent overcharge, and lengthens it after deeper discharges to guarantee a complete, healthy recharge.
-
Smart Alternator Compatibility:
With built-in engine detection, the Orion XS only draws power when the alternator is actively supplying current—ideal for modern vehicles that often run at lower voltages, ensuring efficient operation and safeguarding your starter battery.
-
Precise and Adjustable Charging Current:
Fine-tune the charge current in 0.1 A increments via the VictronConnect App. This level of precision ensures optimal charging and extends battery life, especially in systems prone to voltage drops or harsh environmental conditions.
-
Integrated Protections and Low-Temp Shutdown:
Overload, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection come standard. The charger also automatically shuts down in low-temperature conditions to protect lithium batteries, and features input undervoltage lockout, preventing the starter battery from draining excessively.
-
Versatile Connectivity and Control:
Monitor and adjust settings on the go using built-in Bluetooth and the VictronConnect App. Employ VE.Smart Networking to integrate with other Victron devices for real-time battery sensing (Vsense, Tsense, Isense), and utilize VE.Direct and DVCC for advanced system monitoring, remote control, and diagnostics through a GX device and the VRM Portal.
-
Rugged and Weatherproof:
Engineered to withstand demanding conditions, the Orion XS features an IP65-rated enclosure that’s dust-tight and protected against heavy rain, ensuring reliable performance in mobile and outdoor installations.
-
Expandable and Customizable:
When your needs grow, simply parallel multiple Orion XS units to increase output current. With its exceptional 98.5% maximum efficiency and the ability to serve as a precision power supply, this charger seamlessly adapts to a wide range of energy management challenges.
