The Orion-Tr 24/12-30A is an isolated DC-DC converter that steps a 24 V supply down to 12 V. It takes 16 to 35 V in, puts out 12.2 V and delivers 30 A continuous. Continuous power is 430 W at 25°C and 360 W at 40°C, and the two sides are galvanically isolated. The unit weighs 1.8 kg and the enclosure is rated IP43.
Our take
A 30 A continuous output at 12.2 V from a 16 to 35 V input lets the Orion-Tr 24/12-30A run a 12 V circuit off a 24 V source with the two sides isolated. The power figure slips from 430 W at 25°C to 360 W at 40°C, so heat takes some of it back.
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.
