The Victron Orion XS sets a new benchmark in adaptive DC-DC battery charging. Purpose-built for dual battery systems with intelligent alternators, it ensures efficient, safe, and precise charging in vehicles, boats, and RVs. Engineered with advanced protection and smart connectivity, the Orion XS guarantees reliable performance even in challenging conditions such as Euro 5/6 alternator setups or installations with long cable runs.
Features:
- Adaptive DC-DC charging – Optimised for dual battery systems, compatible with Euro 5/6 smart alternators.
- Adjustable charge current – Fine-tune charging in 0.1A increments using the VictronConnect App.
- Adaptive 4-stage charge algorithm – Automatically adjusts absorption time to prevent overcharging after shallow discharges and ensure full recharge after deep discharges.
- Battery compatibility – Eight pre-programmed settings plus fully programmable algorithms for different battery chemistries (including lithium).
- Low temperature and undervoltage protection – Automatically disables charging to prevent lithium battery damage or starter battery over-discharge.
- Remote on/off control – Switchable via wired remote input or VictronConnect App, ideal for integration with a BMS or manual control.
- Comprehensive protection – Safeguards against overload, short circuits, overheating, and excessive temperatures with automatic recovery.
- Parallel connection capability – Connect unlimited units in parallel for increased output current.
- Bluetooth Smart built-in – Wireless monitoring, configuration, and firmware updates via Apple or Android devices.
- Instant readout – View live data, warnings, and alarms on the VictronConnect Device List without connecting to the charger.
- VE.Smart Networking – Optimises charging parameters using Vsense, Tsense, and Isense data from other Victron devices like SmartShunt or Smart Battery Sense.
- VE.Direct port & DVCC – Enables wired integration with GX devices (Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, etc.) for advanced system control, diagnostics, and remote monitoring via VRM Portal.
