New: Orion XS charger in the 70 A version is now available!

Higher charging current and high efficiency in a compact housing

A new, more powerful variant of the popular Orion XS model is joining the Victron Energy DC-DC charger family. The device with an output of up to 70 A (model 12/12-70) offers faster charging of the "leisure" battery from the alternator, while maintaining compact dimensions. This solution is designed for power systems in recreational vehicles (campervans), special vehicles, and on boats.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the new Orion XS 70A DC-DC charger can be connected in parallel with older Orion-Tr Smart models. To achieve stable battery charging from the alternator, identical voltage profiles must be set in the VictronConnect app.
The external cooling fan of the Orion XS 12/12-70A operates extremely quietly. It activates automatically only under high current load and high temperature, running at minimum speed most of the time.
Yes, in the VictronConnect app you can smoothly limit the charging current in the range of 1-70 A. This allows you to match the power draw to the alternator's capacity and protects the electrical installation from overloading.
For 70 A current, we recommend copper cables with a cross-section of 16 mm² or 25 mm² (maximum charger terminal size). On both the input and output, 80 A or 100 A fuses should be used to protect the DC-DC installation.
No, the Victron Orion XS 12/12-70 charger has a built-in, intelligent engine running detector. The device automatically detects alternator activation based on changes in input voltage, without the need to inconveniently connect the D+ signal from the vehicle.
