The Orion-Tr 24/12-5 is a non-isolated Victron DC-DC converter. It accepts 18 to 35 V and delivers 12.7 V, with 5 A continuous output and a 7 A maximum. It is rated IP43 and connects through screw terminals sized for 3.3 mm² (12 AWG) cable. Output current derates by 3 percent per degree above 40°C, so a warm mounting spot will trim what it can supply.
Our take
The screw terminals on this 5 A converter are sized for 3.3 mm² (12 AWG) cable, which keeps the wiring light. Output also derates 3 percent per degree above 40°C, so a hot compartment trims the 5 A it can deliver.
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.
