Victron Energy Orion XS 12/12-70A DC-DC Battery Charger, ORI121221040

Orion XS 12/12-70A DC-DC Battery Charger

Engineered from the ground up, the Orion XS redefines adaptive DC-DC battery charging. For use in dual-battery systems charged with an (intelligent) alternator. This device not only ensures top-tier performance but also guarantees the safety of your system.

The Orion XS serves as a DC-DC battery charger or as a power supply, offering a wide input and output voltage range. This is especially significant in the case of vehicles with a Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternator, which often supplies too low a charging voltage even when the engine is running, or when extended cable lengths, as is often the case in boats and RVs, lead to voltage drops. In such scenarios, precise and controlled charging is imperative to fully charge the service battery while protecting the starter/input battery from discharge.

*Note that the Orion XS 12/12-70A has an ingress protection rating of IP20 and is therefore intended for installation in a dry indoor environment only.

Features:

• Adjustable Charging Current
• Smart alternator compatibility
• Adaptive 4-stage charge algorithm
• Low temperature shutdown and input undervoltage protection
• Remote on/off
• Comprehensive electronic protection
• Can be paralleled to increase output current
• Bluetooth Smart enabled
• VE.Direct port and DVCC

Victron Energy Orion XS 12/12-70A DC-DC Battery Charger provides controlled charging for dual-battery systems using an intelligent alternator. Designed for vehicles, boats, and RVs, it helps deliver the appropriate charging voltage to a service battery when smart alternators, long cable runs, or voltage drop make direct charging unsuitable.

The Orion XS can operate as a DC-DC battery charger or power supply, with a wide input and output voltage range. Its adaptive charging system supports precise, controlled charging while helping protect the starter or input battery from discharge. Adjustable charging current allows the system to be configured for specific installation requirements, while the adaptive four-stage charge algorithm supports efficient battery charging.

Built-in electronic protections include low-temperature shutdown and input undervoltage protection. Remote on/off control supports convenient system integration, and Bluetooth Smart connectivity enables configuration and monitoring through compatible devices. The charger also includes a VE.Direct port and DVCC support, and multiple Orion XS units can be paralleled to increase output current when the system requires additional capacity.

Important: The Victron Energy Orion XS 12/12-70A has an IP20 ingress protection rating and is intended for installation in a dry indoor environment only. Please contact your dealer for any returns, repairs, or support issues related to this product.
