This Victron Orion-Tr is an isolated DC-DC converter that converts an 8 to 17 V input to 24.2 V. It is galvanically isolated, so the output side is electrically separate from the input side. It delivers 5 A continuously and is rated for 120 W at 25°C. The enclosure carries an IP43 rating, units can be paralleled, and a remote on/off terminal is fitted.
Our take
The 5 A continuous rating and 120 W at 25°C put a firm ceiling on what this converter can feed at 24.2 V, while the galvanic isolation keeps the output side electrically separate from the input side.
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.
