Victron 12V to 12V Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Smart Battery Charger - EMC Improved Version

Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A: Advanced DC-DC Charging with EMC Optimisation

Precision Power Management for Dual-Battery Systems

The Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC battery charger delivers intelligent, high-efficiency charging for auxiliary batteries in vehicles and vessels. Engineered with enhanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), this model significantly reduces interference with sensitive onboard electronics such as VHF radios, making it a superior choice for marine and communications-critical installations. Its adaptive charging algorithm and wide-range current control ensure your secondary battery receives an optimal charge profile, extending service life and maintaining reliable performance across diverse conditions.

With a peak efficiency of 98.5%, the Orion XS minimises energy loss and operates without a cooling fan. Instead, it uses an advanced aluminium circuit board for passive thermal management, resulting in silent, maintenance-free operation. This compact, IP65-rated unit is built to withstand dust, water spray, and the vibration typical of mobile and off-grid environments.

Engineered for Demanding Environments

The Orion XS 12/12-50A is purpose-built for applications where reliability and space are at a premium. Its sealed IP65 housing protects against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, while the recessed screw terminals and included terminal cover prevent accidental shorts and debris accumulation. The unit’s wide operating temperature range (-20 °C to +60 °C) and full 700 W continuous output up to 40 °C ambient ensure consistent charging even in engine bays and unventilated compartments. For installations with restricted airflow, the charger intelligently derates output to prevent overheating, safeguarding both the unit and your batteries.
