- What does this charger actually do?
- It takes a 12V DC source, such as a starter battery or alternator, and charges a 24V battery bank at up to 10A. The input and output are galvanically isolated.
- Can I adjust the charge voltage for lithium or AGM?
- Yes. Charge voltages, currents and profiles are set over Bluetooth in the VictronConnect app, and preset profiles cover lead-acid and lithium.
- Do I need a separate battery monitor?
- No. The charger handles the charge profile on its own, though a battery monitor helps you track state of charge.
- Is it suitable for a 24V to 12V setup?
- No. This model is the 12/24 version, stepping 12V up to 24V. Victron makes other Orion-Tr models for the reverse direction.
- Will it work with a smart alternator?
- Yes. The wide input range and adjustable engine-off detection let it work with variable-voltage charging systems.
- What comes in the box?
- The charger unit and its terminal connections; wiring, fuses and mounting hardware are not included.
