The Victron Orion IP67 24/12-100A is a non-isolated DC-DC converter with a 12 V output, fed from an 18 to 35 V input. It is rated for a continuous 100 A output, and its case carries an IP67 protection category. It operates across -40 to 70 °C, and output derates by 3 % per °C above 40 °C. The unit weighs 2.15 kg.

Our take

A continuous 100 A output from an 18 to 35 V input is the core of this Orion. It derates 3 % per °C above 40 °C, so its full current depends on the space around it staying at or below 40 °C.

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.
