Victron Energy Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Battery Charger [ORI121217050]

The Orion XS, engineered from the ground up, redefines DC-DC battery-to-battery charging. Ideal for dual battery systems charged by an intelligent alternator.

This device not only ensures top-tier performance but also guarantees the safety of your system.

Stay in charge with configurable input and output currents and rest assured that your Orion XS will run at full capacity up to 40°C. The 98,5% efficient aluminum circuit board technology means less heat, without the need for fans.

As an integral part of your Victron system, the Orion XS offers full (remote) monitoring and control capabilities, giving you complete command of your device and system.

Parallel to increasing output current

An unlimited number of Orion XS devices can be connected in parallel, for easy output current scaling to meet system requirements.

Smart alternator compatibility

With its built-in engine running detection, the Orion XS guarantees the charger only draws power when the engine is running. It also helps retrieve a proper charge current from intelligent alternators as found in Euro 5 & Euro 6 engines.

Adaptive charge algorithm

The Orion XS features customizable and preset charging algorithms for lithium and lead-acid batteries, ensuring optimal recharging, for both shallow and deep discharges.

Complete electronic protection

The Orion XS comes equipped with comprehensive electronic protection against overload, short circuits, and excessive temperatures. It will automatically reduce the output power when the maximum product temperature is reached.

Low-temperature shutdown & under voltage protection

To prevent damage to lithium batteries, the charger will turn off automatically at low temperatures and when the input voltage drops below a user-configurable lockout value, protecting the starter battery from deep discharge.

Dust & waterproof

The Orion XS is designed to withstand dust and water pollution and has an IP65 classification.

Safely combine any alternator with any battery

When the engine is off, the Orion XS isolates the service battery, so no power is drawn from the starter battery. Turn the engine on.

Smart has never looked so simple

With multiple automated safety and efficiency features, the Orion XS is truly a smart addition to any vehicle or marine system with dual batteries. That doesn’t mean that it should be a complicated one. We made sure integrating and controlling are as simple as can be.

Product Warranty

Victron Energy Product Warranty

Victron Energy warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase by the end-user, with a maximum of 66 months from the Victron Energy invoice date. Exceptions on this are: lead-acid batteries; 2 years from date of purchase by the end-user, with a maximum of 30 months from the Victron Energy invoice date, Lithium batteries; 3 years from date of purchase by the end-user. In addition to this, proof of correct battery usage is required when making a battery warranty claim.

For a 10% surcharge on the net price for products that came with a 5-year warranty, an additional 5 years of warranty can be purchased, bringing the total warranty to 10 years. Warranty extensions need to be applied for ultimately one year before expiration of the original term.

During the warranty period, Victron Energy will, at its discretion, repair, replace or credit the defective product free of charge. The warranty does not include performing or reimbursing de‐installation, transportation, and re‐installation. This warranty will be considered void if the unit has suffered any physical damage or alteration, either internally or externally, and does not cover damages arising from improper use like:

• Reverse of battery polarity.

• Inadequate connection.

• Mechanical shock or deformation.

• Contact with liquid or oxidation by condensation.

• Use in an inappropriate environment(dust, corrosive vapor, humidity, high temperature, biological infestation...). 

• Breakage or damage due to lightning.

• Connection terminals and screws destroyed or other damages, like overheat, due to insufficient tightening.

• For any electronic breakage except due to lightning (reverse polarity, over‐voltage due to external cause), the state of the internal control diode and/or the input/output X and Y capacitors determine the warranty.

This warranty will not apply where the product has been misused, neglected, improperly installed, or repaired by anyone else than Victron Energy or one of its authorized Repair Centres. In order to qualify for the warranty, the product must not be disassembled or modified.

Repair, replacement or credit are our sole remedies and Victron Energy shall not be liable for damages, whether direct, incidental, special, or consequential, even caused by negligence or fault.

Victron Energy owns all parts removed from repaired products. Victron Energy uses new or reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers when performing warranty repairs or building replacement products.
