The Orion 24/12-40A is a Victron non-isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 24 V supply down to 12 V. It takes 18 to 35 V in, gives 13.2 V out, and delivers 40 A continuously with a 55 A maximum. Cooling is fan assisted, and the operating temperature range runs from -20 to 50 °C.
Our take
A 40 A continuous rating with a 55 A maximum at 13.2 V sets what this converter can carry from a 24 V bank to 12 V loads. It is fan cooled and its operating range tops out at 50 °C, so ambient heat is the limit to check.
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.
