The Orion-Tr 24/24-5A is an isolated DC-DC converter with a 24 V input and a 24 V output. It takes 16 to 35 V in and delivers 5 A continuous at 24.2 V. Power is 120 W at 25°C and 115 W at 40°C, with galvanic isolation between input and output. The enclosure is 112 mm wide and the unit weighs 0.42 kg.

Our take

Weighing 0.42 kg in a case 112 mm wide, the Orion-Tr 24/24-5A gives isolated 24 V to 24 V conversion at 5 A. Its power only slips from 120 W at 25°C to 115 W at 40°C, so a warm compartment costs it little.

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.
