The Victron Orion-Tr 48/24-5A is an isolated DC-DC converter that takes a 32 to 70 V input and gives a 24 V output, with an output range of 18 to 30 V. It delivers 5 A continuous, which is 120 W at 25°C and 100 W at 40°C. It is galvanically isolated, can be paralleled with other units, and has an IP43 protection category.
Our take
The 120 W rating is for 25°C and falls to 100 W at 40°C, so a warm installation gets less than the headline figure. IP43 only applies with the screw terminals oriented downwards, which decides how it has to be mounted.
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.
