Victron Orion 24/12-70A Non-Isolated DC-DC Converter

Heavy-Duty 24V to 12V Power Conversion

The Victron Orion 24/12-70 is a high-capacity non-isolated DC-DC converter designed to seamlessly step down 24V power sources to a stable 12V output. Delivering a continuous output current of 70A and capable of handling maximum surges up to 85A, this unit provides exceptional reliability for demanding electrical systems. Whether you are outfitting a heavy-duty truck, a marine vessel, or an off-grid caravan setup, this 12V convertor ensures that your 12-volt accessories and critical systems receive clean, consistent power without voltage drops or fluctuations.

Beyond standard voltage step-down operations, this advanced unit can function as a highly effective 24V to 12V battery charger. By adjusting the output voltage, it is fully capable of buffer-charging a 12V starter or accessory battery integrated within a larger 24V framework. This dual functionality reduces the need for multiple discrete components, saving valuable installation space and reducing overall system complexity.

Precise Voltage Regulation and Thermal Management

Generic converters often struggle with voltage sag under heavy loads, risking damage to sensitive electronics. The Victron Orion overcomes this by acting as a precise 24V to 12V voltage regulator. It features an adjustable output range of 10V to 15V, allowing technicians to fine-tune the delivery voltage to precisely match the requirements of the connected load or battery chemistry.

To maintain peak performance during continuous high-current draws, the unit incorporates an intelligent, temperature-controlled, fan-assisted cooling system. This active thermal management prevents overheating and ensures the dc current converter operates at optimal efficiency, significantly extending the lifespan of the hardware in harsh environments.

Secure Connections and Remote Switching

High-amperage electrical pathways require robust connection points to prevent resistive heating. This unit features heavy-duty M6 terminals, functioning as a highly secure 12 volt binding post system for your input and output wiring. This design ensures optimal current transfer and mechanical stability, which is essential for mobile applications subject to persistent vibration.

Furthermore, the integrated remote on-off connector adds a crucial layer of safety and control. This feature allows the converter to be operated via a low-power remote switch or tied directly into the engine run/stop circuitry. By eliminating the need to route high-current cables to a physical switch on the dashboard, installation becomes safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective.

Scalable Power for Growing Demands

When system requirements exceed the capacity of a single unit, the Victron Orion 24/12-70 offers exceptional scalability. Up to five units can be wired in parallel to multiply the total output current. This modular approach allows your 24V dc dc power architecture to grow alongside your energy needs without replacing existing infrastructure.
