The XS 1400 version differs from the XS in that it can accept an input from either a 12V or 24V alternator and charge either a 12V or 24V battery, with a maximum output of 50A , making it powerful and versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is fully compatible with smart alternators found in Euro 5 or 6 vehicles and has a wide input voltage range to accommodate input cable voltage drop. The input and output current limits can be set by the user and innovative cooling technology provides a 98% efficiency without the need for a fan or heatsink, enabling a lightweight and compact, yet powerful charging unit. There are 8 pre-programmed charging algorithms, or you can create a fully customisable algorithm to match the battery manufacturer's charging voltage requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orion XS 1400 will produce its full rated output up to 40°C and multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase charge output. It can also be used in fixed-voltage power supply mode with a user-configurable output of 10-35V. A host of electronic protection features guarantee the safety of your alternator and your battery, and physical protection is assured thanks to its P65 dust and water-proof rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit is fully configurable via Bluetooth using the VictronConnect app and features a VE.Direct port for connection to a Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX. This allows remote monitoring and control of the Orion XS 1400 and provides seamless integration with the rest of your Victron system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMulti-voltage use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orion XS 1400's wide input and output voltage range enable it to be used with any combination of 12V \u0026amp; 24V systems on the input and output, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles and auxiliary battery systems. The 50A charge current provides a maximum power output of 1400W @24V, and 700W @12V, and an unlimited number of units can be connected in parallel to increase the output (where alternator capacity allows). Settings in the Victron Connect App allow you to select your alternator voltage and type, and your auxiliary battery voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmart alternator compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegardless of the variable input voltage produce by smart alternators, the charger keeps operating and maintains the chosen algorithm for perfect battery charging. The on-board engine running detection system ensures that the charger only activates when the alternator supplies power (i.e. when the engine is running) and prevents your vehicle starter battery being drained when the engine is off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlternator overload protection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe input and output currents can be precisely controlled in increments of 0.1A using simple controls in the Victron Connect App. This input current control guards against alternators being overloaded (especially when using lithium batteries that can accept very high charge currents) and the output current control allows you to set the charge current to suit the type and capacity of battery being charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdaptive charge algorithm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orion XS 1400 includes customisable charging algorithms and 8 pre-set battery modes. For lead acid batteries, these settings ensure optimal absorption times for both shallow and deep discharges. During shallow discharges of lead-acid batteries the absorption time must be kept short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eComprehensive electronic protection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orion XS 1400 comes equipped with comprehensive electronic protection against overload, short circuit and excessive temperatures, and will automatically reduce the output power when maximum product temperature is reached. To prevent damaging lithium batteries the charger will turn off automatically at low temperatures, and to protect the starter battery from being over-discharged it will shut down when the input voltage drops below a configurable lockout value, and restart when the input voltage rises above the restart value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDust tight \u0026amp; waterproof\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orion XS 1400's ingress protection rating of IP65 makes it dust-tight, protected against heavy rain, and suitable for use in harsh environments such as vehicle engine bays and boat engine rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltimate flexibility - charge a 12V or 24V battery from a 12V or 24V alternator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable input \u0026amp; output current in 0.1A steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'Smart' or standard alternator compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparation of starter and auxiliary batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdaptive 4-stage charging algorithm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully programmable battery charging profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for all battery types (inc. lithium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic temperature-compensated charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive electronic protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlimited parallel operation to increase output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote On\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth Smart enabled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVE.Direct port for connection to Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP65 waterproof protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54746771947857,"sku":"P04412","price":285.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/8731\/0929\/files\/Orion-XS-IP65-1400-1.png?v=1788171805","url":"https:\/\/craftycamper.co.uk\/products\/victron-energy-orion-xs-1400-50a-dc-dc-battery-charger","provider":"Crafty Camper","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
