Description
The Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart 12/12/30 Isolated 30 Amp DC-DC Charger represents a significant advancement in battery-to-battery charging technology. Designed to link your van battery to your camper or house battery bank, this charger is essential for those who rely on their vehicle’s alternator for power. Unlike simple isolators or relays, the Orion-Tr Smart Charger adapts the alternator's irregular voltage into a regulated output, providing adaptive 3-stage charging suitable for all types of batteries. This not only ensures better charging but also extends the life of your alternator by preventing overloading, as the output current is limited to 30 amps.
One of the standout features of this charger is its isolated design, which enhances safety and efficiency by requiring separate positive and negative connections from the vehicle battery to the input side of the unit. This design is particularly beneficial for complex electrical systems or those requiring a higher degree of safety.
For ease of use, the charger can be automatically activated by sensing the incoming voltage, such as when the van is running, or through a trigger wire connected to the ignition switch. This feature ensures that the charging process is seamless and requires minimal intervention.
In situations where more power is needed, multiple Orion DC-DC chargers can be connected in parallel. This allows for an increase in total charging output, for example, wiring two units together to achieve a 60 amp charging capacity. For such configurations, using a trigger wire connection is recommended for optimal performance.
The charger is also Bluetooth-enabled, allowing for convenient monitoring and programming through a mobile device. This adds a layer of convenience and control, enabling users to easily adjust settings and monitor performance.
With its compact dimensions of 7.3 inches wide, 5.1 inches tall, and 3.2 inches deep, the Orion-Tr Smart Charger is easy to install and integrate into various setups.
