This Victron Orion-Tr is an isolated DC-DC converter that takes a 16 to 35 V input and produces 48.2 V. It is galvanically isolated, and the enclosure weighs 0.42 kg with an IP43 rating. Continuous output is 2.5 A. Power is rated at 120 W at 25°C and 115 W at 40°C, so a rise in temperature trims it only slightly.

Our take

The 2.5 A continuous output at 48.2 V caps this converter at 120 W at 25°C and 115 W at 40°C, so heat costs it little. It takes a 16 to 35 V input, so it feeds a 48 V circuit from a 24 V source.

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.
