Victron DC-DC Battery Charger ORION XS 12/12-50A

The Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A is a DC-DC battery charger and power supply intended for dual battery systems, especially vehicles with Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternators and for marine or RV installations with long cable runs.

It supplies up to 50A of charging current while protecting the starter/input battery from discharge and ensuring the service battery reaches a full charge.

Engineered from the ground up, the Orion XS redefines adaptive DC-DC 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.

Stay in charge with configurable input and output currents, and rest assured that your Orion XS will run at full capacity up to 40°C. The innovative aluminium circuit board cooling technology delivers an astonishing 98% efficiency without the need for fans.

As an integral part of your Victron system, the Orion XS offers full (remote) monitoring and control capabilities, giving you complete command of your device and system.

Features:

• Fully configurable
• Engine shutdown detection
• Intelligent charge algorithms
• Efficient cooling
• Works with VictronConnect
• Remote monitoring optional
• Acts as both a DC-DC battery charger and a power supply.
• Broad input and output voltage range to support vehicles with Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternators.
• Prevents starter/input battery discharge while fully charging the service battery in conditions with voltage drop, such as extended cable lengths.
• Adjustable input and output currents from 1A up to 50A.
• Operates at full capacity in temperatures up to 40°C.
• Advanced aluminium circuit board cooling system achieving 98% efficiency without fans.
• Integrates with Victron systems and offers remote monitoring and control via VictronConnect.
• Engine shutdown detection that automatically adapts to protect batteries.
• Advanced charging algorithms to optimise charging for all battery types.

Configurable charging
Precisely set the input and output current with simple controls. This helps protect alternators against overloading and to charge the service battery properly, especially in case of intelligent alternators.

Parallel to increase output current
An unlimited number of Orion XS devices can be connected in parallel. Making scaling the output current to match your system’s requirement easy.

Smart alternator compatibility
With its built-in engine shutdown detection, the Orion XS guarantees the charger only draws power when the engine is running. It also helps retrieving proper charge current from intelligent alternators as found in Euro 5 & Euro 6 engines.

Adaptive charge algorithm
The Orion XS includes customisable charging algorithms and 8 battery preset modes. For lead acid batteries, these settings ensure optimal absorption times for both shallow and deep discharges.

Complete electronic protection
The Orion XS comes equipped with comprehensive electronic protection against overload, short circuit and excessive temperatures. It will automatically reduce the output power when maximum product temperature is reached.

Low temperature shutdown & undervoltage protection
To prevent damage of lithium batteries, the charger will turn off automatically at low temperatures and when the input voltage drops below a user-configurable lockout value, protecting the starter battery from deep discharge.

Dust & waterproof
The Orion XS is designed to withstand dust and water pollution and has an IP65 classification.
