Engineered from the ground up, the Orion XS redefines adaptive DC-DC battery charging. For use in dual

battery systems charged with an (intelligent) 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.

 

An integrated mechanism detects whether the engine is running (engine shutdown detection), which only

activates the charger when the alternator supplies power. This ensures that the charger only draws power

when the alternator is supplying power, i.e. when the engine is running.

Built-in Bluetooth Smart: The wireless solution to change settings, monitor activities and update the

Orion XS software using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices. Various parameters can
