The Orion 24/12-25A is a Victron non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 24 V system down to 12 V. It takes 18 to 35 V in and puts out 13.2 V at up to 25 A continuous, with a 35 A maximum. Full output is rated up to 40 °C, with a derating of 3 % per °C listed above that. It has a remote on/off terminal and an IP20 case.
Our take
Rated for 25 A continuous but only fully up to 40 °C, with 3 % derating per degree above that, this converter gives up output as the space around it warms. It feeds 12 V loads from a 24 V bank at 13.2 V.
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.
