Battery charger Orion XS

for boatmarinefor motor boats

Product overview
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 is ideal for dual-battery setups and doubles as a DC-to-DC converter for sensitive electronics.

Key features

• Smallest high-power DC-DC charger in its class with up to 98.5% charging efficiency
• Fully configurable charging voltage and input current
• Built with a re-engineered aluminium circuit board that acts as a heat sink for efficient cooling
• Delivers full rated output up to 40°C before thermal derating
• Supports mixed-voltage conversion (12V ↔ 24V) on the 1400 model
• Parallel operation supported to increase total output current

Models

• 12/12-50A
• 12/12-70A
• 1400 (dual voltage: 12V & 24V)
