Orion XS DC-DC Battery Chargers

Using engine power to charge your service battery, the Orion XS DC-DC charger combines impressive power with an ultra-compact, ultra-durable design. Available in 12V and 12V/24V mixed-voltage models, it's ideal for dual-battery setups and doubles as a DC-to-DC converter for sensitive electronics.

The Orion XS supports any alternator and battery setup with configurable voltage and current, achieving 98.5% efficiency and maintaining full rated output even at 40?C/104?F. It draws a stable load from smart Euro 5/6 alternators, preventing the service battery from being undercharged. The 4-stage charging algorithm adapts to discharge depth, extending battery life across all common chemistries.

Smallest design, superior power

The Orion?XS is the most compact, high?power DC?DC charger available, delivering up to 98.5?% charging efficiency. Its electronics stay cool while maintaining full rated output, even in hot, cramped compartments.

Configurable voltage and current

Input current can be precisely limited to prevent alternator overload. Charging voltage is fully configurable to match lithium, AGM, Gel, and other battery chemistries. For mixed-voltage systems, the Orion XS 1400 also provides 12V to 24V or 24V to 12V conversion.

Full rated power, even in high heat

The Orion XS uses a re-engineered aluminium circuit board that also acts as a heat sink, combined with more efficient components to reduce power loss. Its design allows the charger to deliver full output up to 40?C (104?F) before any thermal derating occurs: 700W for the 12 | 12-50A, 1000W for the 12 | 12-70A and 1400W for the 1400 model.

Parallel operation for higher output

Need more charging power? Connect multiple Orion XS units in parallel to increase output current for larger battery banks or higher-demand applications. This flexible setup makes it easy to expand the charging capacity as demand grows.

Smarter charging through data sharing

VE.Smart Networking allows wireless data sharing with other Victron devices for accurate voltage and temperature compensation. The other option is to connect a communication centre to the VE.Direct port and access DVCC: VictronÆs system-wide control feature for coordinated battery charging and discharging.

Works with smart alternators

• Built-in engine running detection prevents charging when the engine is off. The Orion XS also helps retrieve a proper charge current from intelligent Euro 5 or 6 alternators, so they don't reduce output when charging your house battery.

One solution for every battery

• The Orion XS charges all common battery types including lithium, AGM, Gel, and flooded. It comes with eight battery presets, but charging settings can also be customised via the VictronConnect app.

VE.Direct port for remote monitoring

• Use the VE.Direct port to connect to a GX communication centre for remote monitoring via the online VRM portal. Track performance, review data, manage your system and activate DVCC: Victron's system-wide feature for coordinated battery charging and discharging.

Adaptive charge algorithm

• The OrionÆs smart four-stage charge algorithm extends battery life by adjusting its stages to match shallow or deep discharges. It supports lithium and all common lead-acid chemistriesùAGM, Gel, and floodedùvia eight presets or fully customisable settings.

Low temperature shutdown & undervoltage protectio

• To prevent damage to lithium batteries, the charger automatically shuts down at sub-zero temperatures. It also turns off if the input voltage drops below a set threshold, and restarts when voltage recovers, protecting the starter battery from deep discharge.

SafetyShield+ protection: the professional standard

• Engineered for demanding applications, the Orion XS features an IP65-rated electronics enclosure, temperature-compensated charging, and comprehensive safeguards against overload, short circuits, overcharging, and overheating
