Description
A Euro 5/6 alternator lowers its voltage when the engine is not under load, so a service battery wired directly stays undercharged. A DC-DC charger draws from the starter circuit and runs its own charge profile regardless of alternator voltage. The Orion-Tr Smart comes in 250–400 W ratings, isolated and non-isolated, while the basic Orion-Tr is built for 100, 250 and 400 W. The isolated version galvanically separates the load from the input network and is used when the grounds of two systems must not be joined. The Orion IP67 housing suits wet and exposed locations, and a separate Orion 110 V model serves 110 V networks. The 25, 50 and 100 A Buck-Boost units step voltage up or down, so the battery keeps charging when alternator voltage drifts. The Orion XS 12/12-50A handles 50 A between two 12 V systems.
How to choose
Split the task in two. To feed 12 V equipment from a 24 or 48 V onboard system, an Orion-Tr of 100–400 W is enough, with the isolated variant for radios and sensitive electronics. To charge a service battery in a van the Orion XS 12/12-50A fits, and on a boat with a large alternator the 100 A Buck-Boost. Charging from shore power is a job for mains chargers such as the Blue Smart IP65 or a Skylla with a 90–265 V AC input.

FAQ
What is the current rating of the Orion XS 12/12-50A?
The Orion XS 12/12-50A is rated 50 A with 12 V in and 12 V out.
Can Orion charge a service battery from a Euro 6 alternator?
Yes, Orion DC-DC chargers are made for Euro 5/6 smart alternators and hold their own charge profile.
What power ratings does the Orion-Tr Smart come in?
The Orion-Tr Smart comes in 250–400 W, isolated and non-isolated.
When is an isolated Orion DC-DC converter needed?
