The Orion-Tr 24/24-17A is an isolated DC-DC converter with a 24 V input and a 24 V output. It accepts 16 to 35 V and delivers 17 A continuous at 24.2 V, within an output range of 18 to 30 V. Power is 480 W at 25°C and 400 W at 40°C. Isolation is rated at 200 VDC, and the unit weighs 1.6 kg.

Our take

Isolated at 200 VDC, the Orion-Tr 24/24-17A passes 24.2 V from one 24 V system to another without joining them electrically. Its 17 A continuous figure comes with 400 W at 40°C, down from 480 W at 25°C, so a warm install gets less.

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.
