Victron Energy Orion 12/24V DC-DC Converter 10A Non-Isolated | High Power, Efficient

Overview

The Victron Energy Orion 12/24-Volt 10 Amp DC-DC Converter is a compact, high-power solution designed to manage voltage in mixed-vehicle and marine electrical systems. This non-isolated model converts a 12-volt input (9 to 18 volts) into a stable 24-volt output (20 to 30 volts) with up to 10 amps of current and an impressive 95% conversion efficiency. Built for reliability in demanding environments, it supports sustained performance across a wide voltage range while keeping losses low.

Key advantages

• Powerful yet efficient: 10 A output with up to 95% conversion efficiency supports demanding 24V loads without excessive heat.
• Remote on-off control: The remote on-off connector lets you switch the unit from a low-power input, or tie it to an engine run/stop system, reducing wiring and high-current switch requirements.
• Versatile charging option: Adjustable-output models can function as a battery charger, enabling charging of a 12V starter or accessory battery within a 24V system.
• Scalable performance: Output can be increased by paralleling up to five units, allowing higher overall current when needed.
• Easy installation and broad applicability: Widely used in motor, marine, automotive, RV, and electronics setups, as well as displays, LED lighting, and monitoring systems.

Real-world applications

• Marine and motor installations where a 24V system powers electronics, dash displays, and navigation gear.
• Car, truck, or RV electrical rigs that require a stable 24V supply from a 12V source for accessories or equipment.
• Dashcams, LCD TVs, advertising screens, and LED strip lighting that benefit from a reliable 24V feed.
• Solar-powered systems and monitoring panels where compact, efficient DC-DC conversion helps optimize energy use.

How it works and installation tips

The Orion is non-isolated by design, which simplifies integration in many standard 12V to 24V configurations. With a wide input window and a tightly regulated 24V output, it supports continuous operation in mobile and fixed installations. For best results, ensure secure mounting, adequate ventilation, and proper wiring to handle up to 10 A load. If you plan to run higher total current, consider paralleling multiple units per the product’s guidance to distribute the load evenly across units.

Why choose Victron Orion

If you need a robust, flexible DC-DC converter for mixed-voltage systems, the Orion delivers a solid balance of performance, adaptability, and ease of use. While outcomes depend on your specific setup, the design supports a range of practical configurations—from onboard electronics to accessory power rails—without making guarantees, but with clear potential to streamline power management in demanding environments.
