Victron 12V to 12V 70A Orion XS DC-DC Battery Charger

High-Performance Charging with the Victron Orion XS

Designed to maximise the charging potential of modern vehicle systems, the Victron Energy Orion XS 12/12-70A DC-DC Battery Charger sets a new standard for dual battery management. Capable of delivering up to 70A (1000W) of continuous charge current, it provides rapid, reliable charging for secondary battery banks, including high-capacity lithium setups. Ideal for 4x4s, caravans, and marine applications, this charger is engineered to work seamlessly with modern variable-voltage smart alternators while protecting the starter battery from deep discharge.

Unmatched Efficiency and Compact Design

Through the use of advanced aluminium circuit board cooling technology, the Orion XS achieves an outstanding 98.5% operating efficiency. This significant improvement drastically reduces heat generation, entirely eliminating the need for a bulky conventional heatsink. The result is an exceptionally compact and lightweight unit that is much easier to install in tight spaces compared to earlier generations, all while delivering increased power output.

Key features of the Victron Orion XS include:

• Adjustable Charge Current: User-configurable output from 1A to 70A in precise 0.1A increments to perfectly match your alternator capacity.
• Built-In Bluetooth Smart: Configure, monitor, and update the charger wirelessly via the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet.
• VE.Direct Connectivity: Connects directly to a GX device (such as the Cerbo GX) for advanced system-wide monitoring, diagnostics, and parallel stage synchronisation.
• Smart Alternator Compatibility: Built-in engine shutdown detection ensures the charger only draws power when the alternator is active.
• IP65 Protection Rating: Dust-tight and protected against heavy rain, ensuring robust performance in challenging environments.

Fully Customisable and System Ready

The adaptive 4-stage charge algorithm can be tailored to suit virtually any battery chemistry, with eight pre-programmed profiles and full customisation for lithium systems. Low-temperature and input under-voltage protections ensure both your auxiliary lithium batteries and your starter battery remain protected from damage. The charger also features a dedicated remote on/off connector, making it easy to integrate with a manual switch or an external Battery Management System (BMS).

Scalable Power for Larger Systems

For systems requiring exceptional charge capacity, an unlimited number of Orion XS units can be connected in parallel. When networked via a GX device, these paralleled chargers automatically synchronise their charge stages, ensuring coordinated and highly efficient charging across your entire system. The large DC terminal blocks securely accommodate cable cross-sections up to 25mm² (AWG 4) and feature an integrated strain relief clamp for robust, high-current connections. Equip your vehicle with the Victron Orion XS for an intelligent, highly efficient, and future-proof DC charging solution.
