High-Power 24V to 12V Conversion

The Orion 24/12-80 provides dependable voltage conversion for installations where 12V equipment must be powered from a 24V electrical system. Its adjustable 10–15V output allows the converter to be configured for different 12V loads and battery-charging requirements.

With 80A of continuous output and a maximum output current of 90A, this converter is designed for high-current applications that require stable and efficient DC power.

Battery-Charging Capability

Because the output voltage is adjustable, the Orion 24/12-80 can also be used as a battery charger. For example, it can charge a 12V starter or accessory battery within an otherwise 24V electrical system.

Expandable Parallel Operation

Multiple Orion 24/12-80 converters can be connected in parallel to increase the total available output current. Victron specifies that up to five compatible units can be connected in parallel, providing flexibility for larger power requirements.

Remote On/Off Control

The integrated remote on/off connection eliminates the need for a high-current switch in the input wiring. It can be controlled using a low-power switch or an engine run/stop switch, depending on the installation.
