The Victron Orion-Tr 48/48-6A is an isolated DC-DC converter that takes a 32 to 70 V input and gives a 48 V output. It delivers 6 A continuous, with an 8 A maximum, which is 320 W at 25°C and 280 W at 40°C. It is galvanically isolated, weighs 1.3 kg, and has screw terminals for 16 mm² (6 AWG) cable.
Our take
The 6 A continuous output is a 280 W figure at 40°C, rising to 320 W at 25°C, so the name's 280 W already assumes a warm unit. The screw terminals take 16 mm² (6 AWG) cable, which sets the wire size for the 1.3 kg unit.
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.
