The Victron Orion-Tr Smart 48/24-16A is an isolated DC-DC charger with built-in Bluetooth. It uses an adaptive 3-stage charging process and works with lead acid and lithium batteries. The range runs in 12 V, 24 V or 48 V systems, and several units can be paralleled to raise output power. Full rated output holds up to 40°C, and it can operate at temperatures up to 55°C.
Our take
Separate chassis grounds for input and output is what makes this Orion-Tr isolated, so the two sides are not tied together at the chassis. Full output is rated only to 40°C, although it tolerates temperatures up to 55°C.
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.
