This is a non-isolated Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger from Victron. It takes an input of 8 to 17 V and gives an output of 18 to 30 V, with a continuous 15 A. Bluetooth and engine running detection are built in. Continuous output power is 360 W at 40°C. Above 40°C the output derates by 3 % per °C, and maximum efficiency is 88 %.
Our take
The 360 W figure is rated at 40°C, and output derates 3 % per °C above that, so where you mount this Orion-Tr Smart decides how much of it you actually get. Engine running detection and Bluetooth setup are both built in.
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.
