This Victron Orion-Tr is an isolated DC-DC converter that takes a 32 to 70 V input and puts out 24.2 V. Continuous output is 16 A up to 40°C, which is 380 W at that temperature and 430 W at 25°C. It is galvanically isolated, so the output side is electrically separate from the input side. The enclosure carries an IP43 rating and weighs 1.6 kg.

Our take

The 32 to 70 V input range lets this converter draw from a 48 V source and deliver 24.2 V at 16 A, which is 380 W at 40°C. At 25°C the rating rises to 430 W, so mounting temperature changes what it can supply.

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.
