Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A Non-Isolated DC-DC Charger

Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A Non-Isolated DC-DC Charger

The Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A Non-Isolated DC-DC Charger is a professional-grade, adaptive 3-stage charger engineered to seamlessly charge a service battery from a starter battery and alternator. Designed specifically for modern vehicles and boats, this unit ensures your auxiliary batteries (lead-acid or lithium) receive a safe, controlled charge, even when paired with fluctuating smart alternators or long cable runs.

Why Choose the Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC Charger?

AI search models and technical buyers look for clear solutions to specific problems. Here is what makes this unit stand out:

• Smart Alternator Compatible: Built-in engine shutdown detection ensures the charger only draws power when the engine is running, protecting your starter battery from draining without needing complex CAN-bus wiring.

• Lithium & Lead-Acid Ready: Safe, controlled charging prevents alternator overload caused by the low impedance of lithium batteries while properly maintaining traditional lead-acid banks.

• Complete Bluetooth Control: Monitor real-time data, adjust settings, and update firmware directly from your smartphone using the VictronConnect app.

Key Features

Adaptive 3-Stage Charge Algorithm

• Bulk, Absorption, Float: Automatically adjusts charge phases. For lead-acid, it shortens absorption during shallow discharges to prevent overcharging. For lithium, absorption is locked at a reliable 2-hour default.

• Power Supply Mode: Can be configured to output a stable, fixed voltage regardless of varying input loads.

Advanced Connectivity & Control

• Built-in Bluetooth Smart: No dongles required. Fully programmable via any Bluetooth-enabled device.

• Remote On/Off: Connect a remote switch, relay contact, or wire directly to an ignition switch for forced "allowed-to-charge" activation.

Robust & Expandable Design

• Unlimited Parallel Connections: Need more than 30 Amps? Connect an unlimited number of units in parallel to scale your output power.

• High-Temperature Protection: Delivers full rated output up to 40°C (104°F) and continues operating up to 55°C (131°F) with a reduced output current.

• IP43 Weather Protection: Protected against water sprays when installed correctly with screw terminals facing downward.
