Victron Orion XS 12/12-70A DC-DC battery charger | ORI121122040

The Orion XS 12/12-70A is quite simply the most advanced way to charge your leisure batteries while you drive. By drawing power from your vehicle engine, it delivers a high-speed charge that is perfectly tailored to your specific battery type. It has been engineered to work seamlessly with modern smart alternators, ensuring that your power system is being replenished safely and efficiently the moment you turn the key. Compact, lightweight and completely silent, it is the perfect fit-and-forget upgrade for any professional van conversion or boat.

High-speed charging: The 70A output is powerful enough to recharge even large battery banks quickly while you move between locations. Completely silent: Because it is so efficient, it does not need a noisy internal fan, meaning you can install it anywhere without worrying about background hum. Smart alternator ready: It automatically detects when your engine is running, making it fully compatible with the latest Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicle standards. Protects your batteries: Integrated safety features like low-temperature shutdown ensure your expensive lithium batteries are never damaged by charging in the freezing cold. Smartphone control: Use the VictronConnect app on your phone to check your charging status or change settings without needing to open any cupboards. Engine safety: The unit monitors your starter battery constantly, ensuring it never drains your engine's power so you can always start your vehicle.

Product Details
The ORI121122040 is the flagship of the Orion XS range, delivering a massive 70A of continuous charging power. What sets this model apart is its incredible 98.5 percent efficiency. By wasting almost no energy as heat, the unit remains cool to the touch and operates without moving parts, which significantly increases its lifespan compared to traditional chargers. It is housed in a compact casing that weighs just 0.34kg, making it easy to mount in the tightest of spaces.
For owners of modern vehicles, the Orion XS is a necessity. Many newer vans and motorhomes use smart alternators that vary their voltage to save fuel, which often results in leisure batteries being undercharged. The Orion XS overcomes this by using a sophisticated four-stage charging algorithm that boosts and regulates the voltage, ensuring your batteries receive the exact charge they need regardless of what the engine is doing.
Installation is straightforward for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. The unit features patented TORK-KRIMP terminals, which allow for a secure and professional electrical connection without the need for specialised crimping tools. Once installed, the unit integrates fully into the Victron ecosystem. You can connect it to a GX device like the Cerbo GX for remote monitoring, or simply use the built-in Bluetooth to view a 40-day history of your energy usage. Whether you are running lead-acid or lithium batteries, the Orion XS provides the professional-grade reliability that Callidus Trade customers demand.
