1M/3M/5M/10M Victron Orion XS 1400 50A DC-DC Charger Kit

We've put this kit together to supply everything you need to wire up this 50A Victron Energy Orion 1400 XS DC-DC charger.

Engineered from the ground up, the Orion XS redefines adaptive DC-DC battery charging. For use in dual battery systems charged with a smart alternator. This device not only ensures top-tier performance but also guarantees the safety of your system.

The Orion XS serves as a DC-DC battery charger or as a power supply, offering a wide input and output voltage range. This is especially significant in the case of vehicles with a Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternator, which often supplies too low charging voltage even when the engine is running or when extended cable lengths, as is often the case in boats and RVs, lead to voltage drops.

In such scenarios, precise and controlled charging is imperative to fully charge the service battery while protecting the starter/input battery from discharge.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Using engine power to charge your service battery, the Orion XS DC-DC charger combines impressive power with an ultra-compact, fanless design. With this 12V/24V mixed-voltage model, it's ideal for dual-battery setups and doubles as a DC-to-DC converter for sensitive electronics.

Small Design

The Orion XS is the most compact, high‑power DC‑DC charger available, delivering up to 98.5 % charging efficiency. Its robust, fanless design stays cool while maintaining full rated output, even in hot, cramped compartments.

Configurable Voltage & Current

Input current can be precisely limited to prevent alternator overload. Charging voltage is fully configurable to match lithium, AGM, Gel, and other battery chemistries. For mixed-voltage systems, the Orion XS 1400 also provides 12V to 24V or 24V to 12V conversion.F

Full Rated Power

The Orion XS uses a re-engineered aluminum circuit board that also acts as a heat sink, combined with more efficient components to reduce power loss. Its fanless design delivers full output - 1,400W for the 1400—up to 40°C (104°F) before any thermal derating occurs.

Parallel Operation For Higher Output

Need more charging power? Connect multiple Orion XS units in parallel to increase output current for larger battery banks or higher-demand applications. This flexible setup makes it easy to expand the charging capacity as demand grows.

Smarter Charging Through Data Sharing

VE.Smart Networking allows wireless data sharing with other Victron devices for accurate voltage and temperature compensation. The other option is to connect a communication centre to the VE.Direct port and access DVCC: Victron’s system-wide control feature for coordinated battery charging and discharging.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION

As with all the kits and layouts provided on our site, they serve as a guide only and we recommend all wiring and installation is carried out by a qualified professional. Disconnect all AC and DC power sources to prevent accidental shock. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all the applicable installation codes, regulations, and to ensure the equipment is fitted correctly.

Please note, this is in kit form so will require assembly (crimping/cutting cables).
