Victron Orion-TR Smart DC-DC 12/24-15A (360W) Isolated Charger or Power Supply is a versatile, high-performance DC-DC charger and power supply designed to reliably charge a service battery while protecting the starter battery. Its isolated output and wide input/output range make it ideal for vehicles with Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternators, where voltage drops can occur over long cable runs common in boats and RVs.
Bluetooth Smart enabled, this charger lets you monitor, adjust settings, and update firmware from any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone or tablet using the VictronConnect app. The app delivers instant readouts, warnings, and alarms on the device list page, so you’re always in control—even when you’re away from the unit.
Key features
- Isolated DC-DC charger or constant-voltage power supply with a broad input range of 10–17 V and an adjustable output range of 20–36 V (nominal 24.2 V).
- Adaptive, fully programmable battery charge algorithm (configurable) or fixed output for simple, predictable charging.
- Smart Alternator compatibility with engine running detection to prevent unwanted discharge when the engine is off.
- Adaptive 3-Stage Charge Algorithm (Bulk – Absorption – Float): optimizes charging for lead-acid batteries and protects against overcharging during shallow discharges; after deep discharge, absorption time automatically increases to ensure a full recharge. For lithium batteries, absorption time is fixed (default 2 hours).
- Remote On/Off capability via a two-pole remote switch or relay; flexible wiring options including switching H (battery plus) or L (battery minus/chassis).
- Paralleling: all models are short circuit proof and can be connected in parallel to increase output current with no practical limit on the number of units.
- High-temperature protection reduces output current automatically at high ambient temperatures to protect batteries and hardware.
- IP43 protection when installed with screw terminals oriented downward, ensuring reliable performance in mobile environments.
- Easy installation with screw terminals and an input fuse (not replaceable); no special tools required.
- Engine shutdown detection stops the converter when the engine is not running, preventing starter battery discharge (refer to manual for details).
