Orion XS DC-DC Battery Charger

Engineered from the ground up, the Orion XS redefines adaptive DC-DC charging. For use in dual battery systems charged with 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 innovative aluminium circuit board cooling technology delivers an astonishing 98% efficiency 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.

• Fully configurable
• Engine shutdown detection
• Intelligent charge algorithms
• Works with VictronConnect
• Remote monitoring optional

The latest Orion XS 12/12-50A comes with reduced EMC, this is important for Marine and any application that uses VHF radios or signals.

Another addition to the XS line-up is the Orion XS 1400. The XS 1400 can be configured to be either a 12 to 12V, 12 to 24V, 24 to 12V and 24 to 24V DC to DC battery charger. Here is the rated output current(*) for each of the possible system configurations (the output current depends on exact voltage levels, ambient temperature and cooling):
• 12 to 12V: 50A
• 12 to 24V: 25A
• 24 to 12V: 50A
• 24 to 24V: 50A

Configurable charging
Precisely set the input and output current with simple controls. This helps protect alternators against overloading and to charge the service battery properly, especially in case of intelligent alternators.

Parallel to increase output current
An unlimited number of Orion XS devices can be connected in parallel. Making scaling the output current to match your system’s requirement easy.

Smart alternator compatibility
With its built-in engine shutdown detection, the Orion XS guarantees the charger only draws power when the engine is running. It also helps retrieving proper charge current from intelligent alternators as found in Euro 5 & Euro 6 engines.

Adaptive charge algorithm
The Orion XS includes customisable charging algorithms and 8 battery preset modes. For lead acid batteries, these settings ensure optimal absorption times for both shallow and deep discharges.

Complete electronic protection
The Orion XS comes equipped with comprehensive electronic protection against overload, short circuit and excessive temperatures. It will automatically reduce the output power when maximum product temperature is reached.

Low temperature shutdown & undervoltage protection
To prevent damage of 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.

Bluetooth Smart enabled
Built-in Bluetooth Smart: The wireless solution to change settings, monitor activities and update the Orion XS software using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices. Various parameters can be adjusted with the VictronConnect App. Instant Readout: The VictronConnect App can display key data, including warnings and alarms, on the Device list page without the need to connect to the product.
