The Orion-Tr 12/24-15A is an isolated DC-DC converter that raises a 12 V supply to 24 V. It accepts 8 to 17 V and delivers 15 A continuous at 24.2 V. Power is 430 W at 25°C and 360 W at 40°C, and input and output are galvanically isolated. It has no Bluetooth and is not listed for use as a power supply.

Our take

Turning an 8 to 17 V input into 24.2 V at 15 A continuous, the Orion-Tr 12/24-15A can feed a 24 V load from a 12 V bank with the sides isolated. Bluetooth is listed as false, so there is no phone link for checking it.

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.
