The Orion 12/24-10 is a Victron non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 12 V supply up to 24 V. It accepts 9 to 18 V and delivers 10 A continuous, with a 20 A maximum. Output voltage is 26.4 V within a 20 to 30 V range. The case carries an IP20 protection category.
Our take
The 10 A continuous rating, with 20 A as the maximum, sets the ceiling for any 24 V load fed from a 12 V bank through this converter. Its case is rated IP20, which is the figure to check against the mounting spot.
From our buying guide
Each maker sets its own alternator rules. Battle Born calls a DC-to-DC charger a simple and safe way to use alternator charging.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- Battle Born warns that a BMS shutdown leaves the vessel without power, and that one during alternator charging can severely damage the alternator.
