This Victron Orion IP67 24/12-10A steps a 24 V supply (15 to 40 V input range) down to 12 V at up to 10 A continuous. Maximum efficiency is 93 percent. The case is aluminium with IP67 protection and comes with two 1.8 m cables, one for input and one for output, each 1.5 mm². It operates from -40 to 70°C, with output derating of 3 percent per °C above 40°C.
Our take
The IP67 rating, with a cast aluminium case and resin-moulded electronics, means this 12 V supply can be fitted somewhere wet or dirty. Output derating of 3 percent per °C above 40°C means a hot spot costs you current.
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.
