The Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24/12-5 (60W) is a DC-DC converter that accepts an 18 to 35 V input and delivers 12.7 V. It supplies 5 A continuously, with a 7 A maximum output, and full load efficiency is above 95%. Output derates by 3 % for each degree above 40°C. The IP43 protection applies only when the unit is mounted with its screw terminals pointing downwards.
Our take
The Orion-Tr 24/12-5 is rated IP43 only when its screw terminals point downward, so how it is mounted decides whether that rating applies. It gives 5 A continuous at 12.7 V from an 18 to 35 V input.
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.
