Victron Energy has expanded its Orion XS DC-DC charger range with a new 12V-12V 70A model. Designed for marine and RV dual-battery systems, it delivers higher charging performance in the same compact form factor.

The charger features engine shutdown detection, smart alternator compatibility, a 4-stage charging algorithm, unlimited parallel operation, and DVCC and VE.Direct connectivity. With up to 98.5% efficiency and full output at 40°C, it is one of the most compact high-power DC-DC chargers available.

It supports lithium, AGM and Gel batteries, protects start batteries, prevents alternator overload, and automatically detects engine and alternator operation. An IP65-rated housing and advanced aluminium circuit board enhance durability and cooling.

The Orion XS 12V-12V 70A is available through Lusty & Blundell showrooms and its nationwide marine dealer network.
