The Orion-Tr Smart 24/24-12A is an isolated DC-DC charger with Bluetooth. It accepts 16 to 35 V in and puts out 12 A continuous at a voltage adjustable from 20 to 30 V. Its maximum efficiency is 89 percent and it is galvanically isolated, so input and output can have separate chassis grounds. It works from -20 to 55°C, with output derating by 3 percent per degree above 40°C.
Our take
Rated for 12 A continuous output into a 24 V bank, this Orion-Tr Smart gives the input and output separate chassis grounds through its isolated design. Above 40°C the output derates by 3 percent per degree, which matters in a warm compartment.
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.
