Choose Your Victron Orion XS
Three models are available:
- Orion XS 12/12-50A – ORI121217050
- Orion XS 12/12-70A – ORI121221040
- Orion XS 1400 – ORI242417040
Therefore, you can choose the charging capacity and voltage configuration that best suits your battery system.
Advanced DC-DC Charging
Modern vehicles often use intelligent alternators that can make auxiliary battery charging more complicated.
The Victron Orion XS is specifically designed for dual battery systems charged from an alternator. Consequently, it can provide controlled and reliable charging to your auxiliary battery while helping protect the overall electrical system.
Engine shutdown detection also allows the charger to recognise when the engine has stopped. This helps prevent unwanted discharge of the starter battery.
Fully Configurable Charging
One of the biggest advantages of the Orion XS range is its configurability.
Both the input and output currents can be configured. Therefore, you can tailor charging performance to suit your alternator, wiring and battery system.
This is particularly useful when installing the charger into vehicles with different alternator capacities.
Intelligent Battery Charging
The Orion XS uses intelligent charging algorithms to provide appropriate charging for your auxiliary battery.
This makes it suitable for modern touring and off-grid power systems where reliable battery charging is essential.
Furthermore, charging parameters can be configured to better suit your particular battery setup.
Up to 98% Efficiency
Victron developed innovative cooling technology for the Orion XS range.
An aluminium circuit board helps dissipate heat efficiently. As a result, efficiency can reach an impressive 98% without requiring cooling fans.
The fanless design also means there are fewer moving components and no fan noise.
Additionally, the Orion XS is designed to deliver excellent performance in demanding conditions.
VictronConnect Compatible
The Victron Orion XS DC-DC Battery Charger works with VictronConnect, allowing convenient configuration and monitoring.
Using VictronConnect, you can access important charger information and adjust settings from a compatible device.
This makes setting up and managing your charging system considerably easier.
Remote Monitoring and Control
The Orion XS can become an integrated part of a larger Victron electrical system.
Remote monitoring and control options allow you to keep track of your charging system and its performance.
Therefore, the Orion XS is an excellent choice for customers already using Victron equipment or planning a complete Victron power system.
Orion XS 12/12-50A
The Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A (ORI121217050) is an excellent choice for 12V dual battery systems requiring up to 50A charging.
It provides up to approximately 700W of charging power while maintaining excellent efficiency.
Its compact design makes it particularly useful in 4WDs, campervans and other vehicles where installation space can be limited.
Orion XS 12/12-70A
For systems requiring additional charging capacity, choose the Victron Orion XS 12/12-70A (ORI121221040).
This model provides up to 70A charging current and approximately 1000W of charging power.
Consequently, it is an excellent option for larger auxiliary battery banks where faster charging is required.
The 70A model carries an IP20 rating. Therefore, it should be installed in a dry and protected location away from water exposure.
Victron Orion XS 1400
For demanding electrical systems, the Victron Orion XS 1400 (ORI242417040) provides significantly greater flexibility.
It supports a wider input voltage range and delivers up to approximately 1400W of charging power.
This makes the XS 1400 particularly suitable for advanced vehicle, caravan and off-grid electrical systems requiring greater charging capacity or additional voltage flexibility.
Perfect for Lithium Battery Systems
The configurable charging characteristics of the Orion XS make the range an excellent choice for modern lithium auxiliary battery systems.
However, correct configuration remains important. Always follow the battery manufacturer’s recommended charging settings when configuring your system.
