Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC battery charger - Ori121217040

<p>Engineered from the ground up, the Orion XS redefines adaptive DC-DC battery 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.
The Orion XS serves as a DC-DC battery charger or as a power supply, offering a wide input and output
voltage range. This is especially significant in the case of vehicles with a Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternator,
which often supplies too low charging voltage even when the engine is running or when extended cable
lengths, as is often the case in boats and RVs, lead to voltage drops. In such scenarios, precise and
controlled charging is imperative to fully charge the service battery while protecting the starter/input
battery from discharge.
Adjustable charging current
The charge current is adjustable with a minimum stepsize of 0.1 A. via VictronConnect.
Smart alternator compatibility
An integrated mechanism detects whether the engine is running (engine shutdown detection), which only
activates the charger when the alternator supplies power. This ensures that the charger only draws power
when the alternator is supplying power, i.e. when the engine is running.
Adaptive 4-stage charge algorithm
For lead acid batteries it is important that during shallow discharges the absorption time is 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.
The Orion XS includes fully programmable charging algorithms and eight pre-programmed battery
settings</a></strong></p>
