The Victron Orion-Tr 48/48-2,5A is an isolated DC-DC converter that takes a 32 to 70 V input and gives a 40 to 60 V output range. It delivers 2.5 A continuous, with a 3 A maximum, which is 120 W at 25°C and 85 W at 40°C. It is galvanically isolated and can be paralleled with other units.

Our take

The 120 W rating is for 25°C and falls to 85 W at 40°C, so 2.5 A continuous is the figure for a cool spot. Galvanic isolation between its 32 to 70 V input and 40 to 60 V output keeps the two 48 V sides separate.

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.
