Description
Product Overview
The Victron Energy Orion Non‑Isolated DC‑DC Converter is engineered to convert a 12‑Volt DC source to a steady 24‑Volt output at up to 20 Amps. Housed in a compact blue enclosure (7.7 x 3.5 x 2.6 in) and weighing only 0.93 kg, the unit features a Type M plug, a single high‑current outlet, and an integrated remote on‑off connector that allows low‑power switching. With a conversion efficiency of 93 %, the converter minimizes heat and maximizes battery life, meeting the rigorous demands of marine, automotive, and off‑grid power systems.
Usage
Designed for versatile environments, this converter powers dash‑cams, LED lighting, LCD TVs, advertising screens, and solar charge controllers in boats, RVs, trucks, golf carts, and even remote monitoring stations. Install it in a vehicle’s 12 V auxiliary circuit and connect the output to 24 V accessories, or use the adjustable output mode to charge a 12 V starter battery while the vehicle runs on a 24 V system.

FAQ
Can the converter be used to charge a 12V battery while the system runs on 24V?
Yes. In adjustable output mode the Orion acts as a charger, safely delivering the appropriate voltage and current to a 12V starter or accessory battery.
How many units can be paralleled for increased current?
Up to five Orion converters can be connected in parallel, providing a combined output of up to 100 A while maintaining the same voltage level.
Is a separate high‑current switch required for the input side?
No. The remote on‑off connector allows you to control the converter with a low‑power switch or the engine run/stop signal, eliminating the need for a bulky high‑current switch.
What type of plug does the unit use?
The converter is equipped with a Type M plug, compatible with standard automotive and marine wiring harnesses.
Is the unit suitable for solar power systems?
Absolutely. Its high efficiency and ability to parallel make it ideal for solar charge controllers and other off‑grid applications where reliable voltage step‑up is required.
