This Victron Orion-Tr is an isolated DC-DC converter that takes an 8 to 17 V input and puts out 12.2 V. Continuous output is 30 A up to 40°C, which is 360 W at that temperature and 430 W at 25°C. Because it is galvanically isolated, the output side is electrically separate from the input side. The enclosure carries an IP43 rating and weighs 1.8 kg.
Our take
The 30 A rating applies up to 40°C, where output power is 360 W, against 430 W at 25°C. That gap means the temperature where the converter is mounted changes how much it can deliver, so a warm space costs some of the headroom.
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.
