Victron Energy Orion XS 1400 12/24V 1400W DC-DC Battery Charger ORI242417040

The Victron Energy ORI242417040 Orion XS 1400 is an advanced DC-DC battery charger and configurable power supply designed for dual-battery systems charged from conventional or intelligent alternators.

Its wide 9–35V input range and adjustable 10–35V output range allow it to work across compatible 12V and 24V electrical systems while providing precise charging control for the service battery. 

With adjustable input and output current from 1A to 50A, continuous output power up to 1400W under specified operating conditions, and maximum efficiency of 98.5%, the Orion XS 1400 provides powerful charging in a compact, fanless design.

It also integrates Bluetooth Smart, VictronConnect, VE.Smart Networking, VE.Direct, DVCC, remote on/off control, and smart alternator detection. 

Key Technology

• 12V & 24V System Flexibility
  A wide input and output voltage range enables the Orion XS 1400 to support compatible 12V and 24V battery-system configurations, providing greater installation flexibility than a fixed-voltage DC-DC charger. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

• Up to 1400W Continuous Output
  Provides continuous output power up to 1400W at temperatures up to 40°C under specified cooling conditions. Victron defines the nominal 1400W level using a typical operating point of 28V × 50A. 

• 50A Adjustable Charging Current
  Input and output current can be configured from 1A to 50A. Charge current is adjustable through VictronConnect in increments as small as 0.1A, allowing charging demand to be matched to the alternator and battery system.

• 98.5% Maximum Efficiency
  High conversion efficiency reduces energy losses and heat generation during demanding DC-DC charging applications. 

• Smart Alternator Compatibility
  Integrated engine shutdown detection determines whether the alternator is supplying power and controls charging accordingly, supporting vehicles equipped with intelligent alternator systems. 

• Adaptive Four-Stage Charging
  The Orion XS uses an adaptive charging algorithm and includes fully programmable charging parameters plus eight pre-programmed battery settings for compatible battery types. 

• Low-Temperature Shutdown
  Charging can automatically stop at low temperatures to help protect lithium batteries from potentially damaging low-temperature charging conditions.

• Input Undervoltage Protection
  A configurable input-voltage lockout stops operation when source voltage becomes too low and restarts charging after the input rises above the configured restart level, helping protect the starter or input battery from deep discharge.

• Bluetooth Smart & VictronConnect
  Built-in Bluetooth provides wireless configuration, monitoring, and software updates through VictronConnect. Instant Readout can display key operating information, warnings, and alarms without requiring a full connection to the product.

• VE.Smart Networking
  Can receive available voltage, temperature, and current sensing information wirelessly from compatible Victron equipment such as a BMV, SmartShunt, or Smart Battery Sense to optimize charging parameters.

• VE.Direct & DVCC
  Provides wired connectivity to compatible GX devices such as the Cerbo GX and Ekrano GX for advanced monitoring, control, diagnostics, and supported DVCC functions. 

• Parallel Expansion
  Victron specifies that an unlimited number of Orion XS units can be connected in parallel when a properly designed system requires additional charging current.

• IP65 Protection
  The Orion XS 1400 carries an IP65 protection rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against heavy rain. 

Best Uses

• 12V & 24V Dual-Battery Systems
  Designed for compatible dual-battery installations where controlled charging is required between the starter/input electrical system and an auxiliary or service battery.

• High-Power Auxiliary Battery Charging
  Ideal for installations requiring substantially more DC-DC charging power while retaining configurable current control.

• Smart Alternator Vehicles
  Well suited to modern Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicle electrical systems where intelligent alternators can produce variable charging voltage.

• RV & Camper Electrical Systems
  Provides controlled charging for high-capacity house battery systems in RVs, campers, vans, and other mobile power installations.

• Marine Dual-Battery Systems
  Suitable for properly designed marine charging systems where long cable runs and voltage drop can make precise DC-DC charging especially useful.

• Lithium Battery Systems
  Programmable charging parameters, low-temperature shutdown, current control, and BMS integration support properly configured lithium auxiliary battery installations.

• DC Power Supply Applications
  Can operate as an adjustable DC power supply when a configurable fixed output is required instead of a battery-charging cycle.
