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

Engineered from the ground up, the Orion XS redefines DC-DC battery-to-battery charging. It is perfect 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 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.

Configurable Charging

Precisely set the input and output current with simple controls. This helps protect alternators against overloading and properly charges the service battery, especially with intelligent alternators. The charge current is adjustable with a minimum step size of 0.1 A via VictronConnect.

Ultimate Control

Thanks to its VE.Direct port, full integration into your Victron system can be achieved. See all performance data from wherever you are, stay on top with simple controls, and let our algorithms do the rest.

Adaptive 4-stage charge algorithm

For lead-acid batteries, it is important that during shallow discharges, the absorption time is kept short to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to ensure that the battery is completely recharged. The Orion XS includes fully programmable charging algorithms and eight pre-programmed battery settings.

Smart alternator compatibility

An integrated mechanism detects whether the engine is running (engine shutdown detection), which only activates the charger when the alternator supplies power. This ensures that the charger only draws power when the alternator is supplying power, i.e., when the engine is running.

Low temperature shutdown and input undervoltage protection

To prevent damage to lithium batteries, the charger will turn off automatically at low temperatures. It will also shut down when the input voltage drops below a configurable lockout value and restart when the input voltage rises above the restart value, to protect the input source, i.e., the starter battery, from deep discharge.

Remote on/off

The Orion XS can be switched on and off remotely via the remote on/off connector or the VictronConnect App. Typical applications include wiring a switch or Battery Management System (BMS).

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.

VE.Smart Networking: Use VE.Smart Networking to receive Vsense, Tsense, and Isense data over the wireless network for your Orion XS DC-DC battery charger, for example, from a BMV, a SmartShunt, or a Smart Battery Sense. The charger uses the available information from the battery to optimize the charging parameters. This improves charging efficiency and extends battery life.
