Ideal for maintaining consistent voltage for sensitive electronics. Single-Stage Battery Charger Can be configured to charge a 12V starter or accessory battery from a 24V system. The output voltage can be adjusted to suit battery charging requirements. Parallel Operation Connect up to five Orion 24/12-25 units in parallel to achieve higher output currents for larger loads. Typical Applications Application Description Marine Systems Powering 12V navigation equipment, VHF radios, stereos, and pumps on boats with 24V electrical systems. Automotive & RVs Supplying stable 12V power for accessories like communication systems, lighting, and entertainment in 24V trucks, buses, and motorhomes. Off-Grid & Industrial Providing 12V for control systems, sensors, and other equipment in 24V industrial setups or remote off-grid installations. Battery Charging Charging a 12V auxiliary or starter battery from a 24V main battery bank or alternator. Built-In Protection Functions The Victron Orion DC-DC Converter 24/12-25 incorporates several protection mechanisms to ensure safe and reliable operation. These include undervoltage shutdown to protect the input source, short circuit protection for the output, and automatic output current reduction in case of high internal temperature (above 40°C) to prevent overheating. Common Questions What does \"non-isolated\" mean for this converter? A non-isolated DC-DC converter means that the input and output negative terminals are connected internally and share a common ground. This design typically results in higher efficiency and a more compact size compared to isolated converters, but it requires the input and output systems to share a common ground. Can this unit be used to charge a 12V battery? Yes, the Victron Orion 24/12-25 can be used as a single-stage battery charger. Its adjustable output voltage (10-15V) allows it to be set to the appropriate voltage for charging a 12V starter or accessory battery from a 24V system. How do I adjust the output voltage? The output voltage is adjustable via an internal potentiometer. It is recommended to make this adjustment while a small load is connected to ensure accuracy. The factory default setting is 13.2V. Is this the \"Smart\" version of the Orion DC-DC charger? No, this is the standard Victron Orion DC-DC Converter 24/12-25. The \"Smart\" versions (e.g., Orion-Tr Smart) feature Bluetooth connectivity, multi-stage charging algorithms, and engine shutdown detection, which are not present in this model. Installation Notes Ventilation: Install the unit in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to ensure optimal performance and heat dissipation. Wiring Sequence: Always connect the negative ('minus') supply cable first to one of the negative terminals of the Orion. A poor negative connection can lead to output overvoltage. Input Fuse: The positive input must be protected by an appropriate fuse. For the 24/12-25 model, a 25A fuse is recommended. Output Voltage Adjustment: If adjusting the output voltage, connect a small load during the adjustment process for greater accuracy. Remote On/Off: The remote on/off feature can be operated with a low-power switch or integrated with an engine run/stop switch. Before You Buy System Voltage: Confirm your input system is 24V DC and your target load/battery requires 12V DC. Current Requirements: Ensure the 25A continuous output is sufficient for your intended application, or plan for parallel units if more current is needed. Non-Isolated Design: Verify that a non-isolated converter is suitable for your system's grounding configuration. Installation Environment: Consider the IP20 rating, which means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but not against water. Consult Manual: Always refer to the official Victron Energy manual for detailed installation instructions and safety guidelines. Product specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer. Always verify details with the latest product documentation before purchase and installation.","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1076/9324/4755/files/victron-orion-dc-dc-converter-2412-25-solarika-co-uk_dddf0026-2d45-44a6-81a8-eeaf62f9eb5f.jpg?v=1789040331","href":"/product/victron-orion-24-12-25-converter.html","buy_url":"https://xyjpsn-3p.myshopify.com/products/victron-orion-24-12-25-converter","buy_url_source":"shops.shop_domain + product.handle","seller_name":"xyjpsn-3p.myshopify.com","seller_url":"https://xyjpsn-3p.myshopify.com/","return_policy_url":"https://xyjpsn-3p.myshopify.com/policies/refund-policy","media":[{"url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1076/9324/4755/files/victron-orion-dc-dc-converter-2412-25-solarika-co-uk_dddf0026-2d45-44a6-81a8-eeaf62f9eb5f.jpg?v=1789040331","alt":null,"position":0}],"related":[{"handle":"victron-power-inlet-16a-shore-cable-stainless-steel-with-cover","title":"Victron Power Inlet 16A Shore Cable Stainless Steel with cover","category":"CONTROLERS","price":"$70.98","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1076/9324/4755/files/victron-power-inlet-16a-shore-cable-stainless-steel-with-cover-solarika-co-uk_332adbd9-90bf-42ff-a267-1b059b7093d4.jpg?v=1789040476","sku":"792-SHP301602000","href":"/product/victron-power-inlet-16a-shore-cable-stainless-steel-with-cover.html"},{"handle":"victron-centaur-chrager-12v-50a","title":"Victron Centaur Charger 12V/50A","category":"CONTROLERS","price":"$306.80","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1076/9324/4755/files/victron-centaur-charger-12v50a-solarika-co-uk_fc405322-5c87-40d2-9905-d45069673ccf.jpg?v=1789040435","sku":"792-CCH012050000","href":"/product/victron-centaur-chrager-12v-50a.html"},{"handle":"victron-smartsolar-mppt-150-35","title":"Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/35","category":"CONTROLERS","price":"$115.70","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1076/9324/4755/files/victron-smartsolar-mppt-15035-solarika-co-uk_89d965c0-19f0-46f1-a338-b930a5463fef.jpg?v=1789040363","sku":"792-SCC115035210","href":"/product/victron-smartsolar-mppt-150-35.html"},{"handle":"victron-power-inlet-16a-shore-cable-polyamid-with-cover","title":"Victron Power Inlet 16A Shore Cable polyamid with cover","category":"CONTROLERS","price":"$49.14","image_url":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1076/9324/4755/files/victron-power-inlet-16a-shore-cable-polyamid-with-cover-solarika-co-uk_e4ac4454-63ac-48e2-a0bf-f5d0c645facb.jpg?v=1789040474","sku":"792-SHP301603000","href":"/product/victron-power-inlet-16a-shore-cable-polyamid-with-cover.html"}]}}
