The Orion 12/24-20 is a Victron non-isolated DC-DC converter that raises a 12 V supply to 24 V. Input range is 9 to 18 V and output is 26.4 V, at 20 A continuous with a 30 A maximum. Cooling is fan assisted, and the operating temperature range runs from -20 to 50 °C.
Our take
With 20 A continuous and 30 A maximum at 26.4 V, this converter sets the ceiling for a 24 V load fed from a 12 V bank. It is fan cooled and rated to 50 °C, so a hot compartment is where it will run out of margin.
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.
