Meet the Victron Energy Orion-TR Smart 24/12-30A (360W) Isolated DC-DC Charger or Power Supply—the intelligent, compact solution designed to keep your service battery fully charged while protecting the starter battery in boats, RVs, and vehicles with smart alternators.
Key features
-
Isolated DC-DC charger or power supply: charges a secondary battery while acting as a stable, constant voltage source, preventing starter battery discharge and handling long cable runs or Euro 5/6 smart alternators.
-
Bluetooth Smart Enabled: monitor, adjust settings, and update the charger using any Bluetooth‑capable smartphone or tablet via the VictronConnect App. Instant readouts of warnings and alarms are shown on the device list.
-
Adaptive 3‑Stage Charge Algorithm (Bulk – Absorption – Float): smart charging that adapts to lead‑acid chemistry, shortening absorption on shallow discharges to avoid overcharging, and automatically extending absorption after deep discharges. For lithium batteries, the absorption time is fixed (default 2 hours).
-
Engine/alternator compatibility: designed for use in vehicles with smart alternators (Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines) and includes engine running detection to prevent unwanted starter battery discharge when the engine is off.
-
Remote On/Off: connect a two‑pole remote switch or relay; versatile switching options allow control from multiple points in your system.
-
Parallel capable: any number of units can be connected in parallel to increase total output current for larger charging needs.
-
Protection and reliability: high‑temperature protection reduces output current at high ambient temperatures; IP43 protection with downward‑facing screw terminals; short‑circuit proof construction for safe installations.
-
Practical installation: screw terminals require no special tools; built‑in input fuse is non‑replaceable for durable protection.
-
Technical performance: 12.2 V nominal output with an adjustable 10–15 V range (±0.2 V tolerance) and 2 mV rms output noise; continuous output current of 30 A at nominal voltage and 40°C ambient.
-
Wide input range: accepts 20–35 V input, with under‑voltage shut down at 14 V and restart at 15 V, ensuring robust operation in variable vehicle electrical systems.
Whether you’re powering a house battery bank in a boat or an RV, the Orion-TR Smart charger delivers precise, programmable charging while guarding your starting battery. It’s the versatile, reliable choice for modern vehicles and vessels that demand smart energy management.
