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

Engineered from the ground up, the Orion XS 12/12-70A is Victron Energy's latest next generation DC-DC charger that redefines charging in campervans, motorhomes, and other leisure vehicles with a smart alternator. With huge improvements over the previous Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger, this device not only ensures the latest in battery charging performance, but its host of protection features also guarantees the safety of your system.

This higher output 70A model is ideal for the latest generation of lithium LiFePO4 batteries that can handle large charging currents, offering significantly faster re-charge times. The output charge current can be set by the user and innovative cooling technology provides a 98% efficiency, enabling a lightweight and compact, but powerful charging unit. Victron's adaptive 4-stage charging algorithm alters the absorption time to suit the depth of discharge to prevent over-charging, and the user can select from 8 pre-programmed charging algorithms or create a fully customisable algorithm to match the battery manufacturer's charging requirements

The Orion XS 70A features miniature fans mounted on the underside of the unit to aid cooling, allowing it to produce the full rated output of 70A up to 40°C. Multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase charge output, and it can be used in fixed-voltage power supply mode with a user-configurable output of 10-17V. Please note: The fan assisted cooling means that this unit has a protection rating of IP20, so should only be installed in dry environments.

The unit is fully configurable via Bluetooth using the VictronConnect app, and features a VE.Direct port for remote monitoring and control capabilities via a GX device, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with the rest of your Victron system.
