The Orion-Tr 24/48-6A is an isolated DC-DC converter that takes a 24 V supply and raises it to 48 V. Input range is 16 to 35 V, output is 48.2 V within a 40 to 60 V range, and continuous current is 6 A. It is rated 320 W at 25°C and 280 W at 40°C, with galvanic isolation between the two sides. The unit weighs 1.3 kg.

Our take

Taking a 16 to 35 V input up to 48.2 V at 6 A continuous, the Orion-Tr 24/48-6A is a step-up route for feeding a 48 V circuit from a 24 V source, with the sides isolated. Rated power eases from 320 W at 25°C to 280 W at 40°C.

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.
