The Orion-Tr Smart 24/24-17A is a non-isolated DC-DC charger from Victron. It is rated for 17 A continuous output, or 400 W at 40°C, and reaches 89 % maximum efficiency. Input range is 16 to 35 V and output range is 18 to 30 V. It can be monitored and programmed over Bluetooth, and its enclosure is IP22 in the connection area and IP43 for the electronic components.

Our take

The Orion-Tr Smart 24/24-17A holds its full 17 A and 400 W only up to 40°C, and Victron lists a 3 % derating for each degree above that. In a warm engine room, expect less than the headline output.

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.
