Description
The Victron Orion XS 1400 DC-DC Battery Charger is a compact, fully programmable DC-DC charger and power supply built for high-performance 12 AND 24V systems. Designed for use with smart alternators and lithium batteries, this advanced unit delivers up to 50A of output current with full support for both charger and power supply modes. Whether you’re charging house batteries from a starter battery or need a stable DC output regardless of fluctuations, the Orion XS delivers clean, reliable power with built-in protection features and adaptive charging.
This device can charge at up to:
- 700W when charging a 12V battery bank from a 12V alternator.
- 700W when charging a 24V battery bank from a 12V alternator.
- 700W when charging a 12V battery bank from a 24V alternator.
- 1400W when charging a 24V battery bank from a 24V alternator.
Fully configurable via VictronConnect and Bluetooth-enabled, the Orion XS allows real-time monitoring, remote control, and flexible charge algorithm customization. Integrated engine shutdown detection ensures smart, automatic operation with smart vehicle alternators, while IP65 ingress protection means it’s tough enough for demanding mobile installations.

Features of the Victron Orion XS 1400
Configurable Charging
Fully programmable charger or power supply (buck-boost converter), with a voltage range of 10-17V for a 12V system and 20 – 34V for a 24V System.
Parallel to Increase Output Current
An unlimited number of XS devices can be connected in parallel, making scaling the output current to match your system’s requirement easy.
Smart Alternator Compatibility
With its built-in engine shutdown detection, the Orion XS guarantees the charger only draws power when the engine is running. It also helps retrieving proper charge current from smart alternators.
Adaptive Charge Algorithm
The Orion XS includes customizable charging algorithms and 8 battery preset modes. For lead acid batteries, these settings ensure optimal absorption times for both shallow and deep discharges.
Complete Electronic Protection
The Orion XS comes equipped with comprehensive electronic protection against overload, short circuit and excessive temperatures. It will automatically reduce the output power when maximum product temperature is reached.
Low Temperature Shutdown & Under-Voltage Protection
To prevent damage of lithium batteries, the charger will turn off automatically at low temperatures and when the input voltage drops below a user-configurable lockout value, protecting the starter battery from deep discharge.
