A non-isolated Orion DC-DC converter rated for 70 A continuous output. Input can run from 18 to 53 V, and the output sits at 13.2 V within a 10 to 15 V range. It has a remote on/off terminal, and up to five units can be paralleled to raise the output current. The converter weighs 0.9 kg.

Our take

The 70 A continuous rating at a 13.2 V output is the figure to check against your 12 V loads, and a second unit can be paralleled, up to five in all, if one falls short. It weighs just 0.9 kg.

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.
