Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC battery charger

Orion-XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Charger

The Orion XS is a modern DC-DC charger designed for systems with a smart alternator and two batteries. It enables efficient and safe charging in vehicles, boats, and campers, even with voltage drops on long cables.
Protects the starter battery from discharging - it automatically shuts off at low input voltage and low temperature (important for lithium batteries). It turns back on when the input voltage returns to a safe level.
Can be remotely turned on and off via the connector or the VictronConnect app. Compatible with battery management systems (BMS).
Equipped with overload, short circuit, and overheating protection. Automatically limits output power when maximum temperature is reached. IP65-compliant housing - dustproof and resistant to heavy rainfall.

Key features:

• Engine Detection Mechanism

An integrated mechanism detects whether the engine is running and activates the charger only when the alternator is supplying power.

• Bluetooth Smart

Wireless configuration, monitoring and updating via the VictronConnect app on smartphones and tablets.

• Advanced charging algorithms

Fully programmable charging profiles and eight presets for various battery types, including lithium.
