The Orion IP67 24/12-5A is a DC-DC converter that takes 15 to 40 V in and gives 12 V at 5 A continuous. It comes with two 1.8 m cables of 0.8 mm² (18 AWG) for input and output. The unit is rated IP67 and operates from -40 to 70 °C. It draws 1 mA with no load, and its output derates by 3 % per degree above 40 °C.
Our take
Fully encapsulated and rated IP67, this 5 A Orion is made for places that get wet and dirty. The 3 % output derating per degree above 40 °C means a hot mounting spot cuts what it can deliver, so keep the load well inside 5 A.
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.
