Victron's Orion-Tr 24/12-15 is a DC-DC converter that steps a 24 V system down to 12 V. Input range is 18 to 35 V, output is 12.5 V, and it delivers 15 A continuous with a 20 A maximum. Output derates by 3 % per degree above 40°C. Maximum efficiency is listed as 97. The case is rated IP43 and weighs 0.25 kg.
Our take
A maximum efficiency of 97 means this Orion-Tr 24/12-15 wastes little of what it draws from a 24 V bank. Continuous output is 15 A, but output derates 3 % for every degree above 40°C, so a hot compartment trims that figure.
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.
