The Victron Orion XS 1400 is a DC-DC battery charger for dual battery systems in vehicles, boats, RVs and off-grid setups. It works with vehicles that have Euro 5 and Euro 6 smart alternators. It charges an auxiliary battery and protects the starter battery from discharge. Output is up to 1400 W continuous at 40°C, with a peak efficiency of 98.5%.
It uses BuckBoost technology to keep the output stable during long cable runs or voltage drops. The unit is fanless and uses aluminium circuit board cooling with aluminium cooling fins, so it has no moving parts. The IP65 enclosure protects against dust and water splashes, and a protective cover guards the terminals.
Charging is adaptive in four stages: Bulk, Absorption, Float and Storage. This is set up for lead-acid batteries, including AGM, Gel and flooded types. For lithium batteries, the VictronConnect app configures a constant-current/constant-voltage profile. Built-in Bluetooth Smart lets you set input and output currents from 1 to 50 A in 0.1 A steps, set voltage thresholds, and view live data on a smartphone. The VE.Direct port connects to GX devices, Color Control panels or a PC. The charger can also run as a power supply with a fixed output voltage.
