- 30 A
The Victron Energy Orion-TR Smart 24/12-30 is an isolated DC-DC charger that can also be used as a power supply. It takes power from a 24V source and keeps 12V batteries topped up, with a 30A charging current from its 360W rating. Smart engine-run detection is built in, and a smartphone app handles monitoring. That gives a direct way to feed a 12V bank from a 24V system while the engine is running.
Our take
At 30A and 360W, the Orion-TR sets the ceiling on how quickly a 12V bank can be refilled from a 24V source. The engine-run detection and the app monitoring mean you can see what it is doing from your phone.
From our buying guide
NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, not the battery's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- Its output suits your bank. ProMariner recommends about 10 percent of the batteries' total amp-hour capacity, with one charger output for each battery.
- It suits how you'll use it, since ProMariner says its waterproof chargers are for batteries not in use while charging.
