The Orion-Tr 24/12-10 is a non-isolated DC-DC converter. It takes an input between 18 and 35 V and delivers 12.5 V, with 10 A available continuously. Wiring goes to screw terminals sized for 6 mm² cable, and the unit weighs 0.2 kg. It carries an IP43 rating, which holds when it is mounted with the terminals pointing down, and it is specified for operation from -20 to 55 °C.
Our take
The 10 A continuous output at 12.5 V sets what this converter can feed, so total up your loads against that figure. IP43 only applies with the screw terminals pointing down, so it belongs somewhere dry and mounted in that orientation.
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.
