Smallest design, superior power
The Orion XS is the most compact, high‑power DC‑DC charger available, delivering up to 98.5 % charging efficiency. Its robust, fanless design stays cool while maintaining full rated output, even in hot, cramped compartments.
Configurable voltage and current
Input current can be precisely limited to prevent alternator overload. Charging voltage is fully configurable to match lithium, AGM, Gel, and other battery chemistries. For mixed-voltage systems, the Orion XS 1400 also provides 12V to 24V or 24V to 12V conversion.
Full rated power, even in high heat
The Orion XS uses a re-engineered aluminum circuit board that also acts as a heat sink, combined with more efficient components to reduce power loss. Its fanless design delivers full output—700W for 12|12 models or 1,400W for the 1400—up to 40°C (104°F) before any thermal derating occurs
Parallel operation for higher output
Need more charging power? Connect multiple Orion XS units in parallel to increase output current for larger battery banks or higher-demand applications. This flexible setup makes it easy to expand the charging capacity as demand grows.
Smarter charging through data sharing
VE.Smart Networking allows wireless data sharing with other Victron devices for accurate voltage and temperature compensation. The other option is to connect a communication centre to the VE.Direct port and access DVCC: Victron’s system-wide control feature for coordinated battery charging and discharging.
All your charging needs in one unit
Recreational Vehicles
Whether you’re off-grid for an adventurous weekend or a full expedition, the Orion XS keeps your house batteries charged and protected. It works with smart alternators, comes in 12V and 12/24V models, and fits neatly into tight spaces.
Professional Vehicles
Designed by the market leader in ambulance power systems, the Orion XS delivers reliable DC charging for demanding mobile applications. It protects alternators with input current limiting, supports all common battery types, and keeps performing in harsh conditions.
Marine
Tough, compact, and fanless, the Orion XS is made for life onboard. It delivers efficient DC-DC charging in cramped engine compartments, supports multiple battery banks, and offers 12/24V conversion with the XS 1400 model.
Adaptive charge algorithm
The Orion’s smart four-stage charge algorithm extends battery life by adjusting its stages to match shallow or deep discharges. It supports lithium and all common lead-acid chemistries—AGM, Gel, and flooded—via eight presets or fully customisable settings.
Low temperature shutdown & undervoltage protection
To prevent damage to lithium batteries, the charger automatically shuts down at sub-zero temperatures. It also turns off if the input voltage drops below a set threshold, and restarts when voltage recovers, protecting the starter battery from deep discharge.
SafetyShield+ protection: the professional standard
Engineered for critical applications, the Orion XS features IP65 water- and dust protection, temperature-compensated charging, and comprehensive safeguards against overload, short circuits, overcharging, and overheating.
