Victron 12/24V 50A Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter

Efficient Charging for Service Batteries in Vehicles with Smart Alternators

The Victron 12/24V 50A Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter is designed to provide efficient charging for a 12V or 24V service battery in vehicles equipped with smart alternators, including those with Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines featuring regenerative braking. This advanced converter ensures your auxiliary battery receives a consistent charge by managing both high and low voltage scenarios, eliminating potential issues common in smart alternators.

Key Features

Versatile Compatibility

  • Supports Multiple Systems: The converter is suitable for 12V, 24V, and 12/24V systems, allowing you to charge a 12V or 24V auxiliary battery from a 12V or 24V alternator and starter battery.
  • Pre-set Charge Voltage: Ensures stable charging by regulating high voltages (e.g., Mercedes: 15.4V) and low voltages.

Intelligent Design

  • Engine Running Detection: This built-in system prevents deep discharge of the vehicle's starting battery by detecting when the engine is running. Alternatively, the converter can be activated via programmable inputs (D+, CAN bus, or (+)15 connection).
  • Fully Programmable: Easily program the converter using a simple and user-friendly PC application (USB type A male to USB type B male cable required).

Performance and Safety

  • Charge Current and Input Current Limiter: The output current is regulated by the maximum charge current setting, input current setting, and the converter's maximum operating temperature limit.
  • Status Indication LEDs: Clear visual indicators for input and output status ensure optimal operation and troubleshooting.

Applications

Ideal for various applications including:

  • Trucks, Buses, and RVs: Maintain your service batteries efficiently while traveling.
  • Marine: Reliable power management for boats with smart alternators.
  • Off-Grid and Industrial: Perfect for remote power systems and industrial equipment.

Upgrade Your Power System

Ensure your vehicle's auxiliary battery is always charged and ready with the Victron 12/24V 50A Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter. Optimize your power management and prevent battery issues with this versatile and intelligent converter.

Victron Energy Limited Warranty Policy


Victron Energy warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 66 months from the Victron Energy invoice date. Exceptions on this are: lead acid batteries; 2 years from date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 30 months from the Victron Energy invoice date, Lithium-ion batteries; 3 years from date of purchase by the end user. In addition to this proof of correct battery usage is required when making a battery warranty claim.


During this period, Victron Energy will, at its option, repair or replace the defective product free of charge. The warranty does not include performing or reimbursing de‐installation, transportation and re‐installation.

• Reverse of battery polarity.
• Inadequate connection.
• Mechanical shock or deformation.
• Contact with liquid or oxidation by condensation.
• Use in inappropriate environment (dust, corrosive vapor, humidity, high temperature, biological infestation...).
• Breakage or damage due to lightning.
• Connection terminals and screws destroyed or other damages, like overheat, due to insufficient tightening.
• For any electronical breakage except due to lightning (reverse polarity, over‐voltage due to external cause), the state ofthe internal control diode and of the inputs/output X and Y capacitors determine the warranty.


This warranty will not apply where the product has been misused, neglected, improperly installed, or repaired by anyone else than Victron Energy or one of its authorized Qualified Service Partners. In order to qualify for the warranty, the product must not be disassembled or modified.
