Intelligent alternator compatibility
A built-in mechanism detects whether the engine is running (engine shutdown detection) and activates the charger only when the alternator is supplying power. This ensures that the charger only absorbs power when the alternator is supplying it, i.e. when the engine is running.

4-step adaptive charging algorithm
For lead-acid batteries it is important that during shallow discharges the absorption time is short to avoid overcharging the battery. After a deep discharge, however, the absorption time is automatically extended in order to fully charge the battery. The Orion XS includes fully programmable charging algorithms and eight pre-programmed battery settings.

Low temperature shutdown and input undervoltage protection
To prevent damage to lithium batteries, the charger will automatically shut down at low temperatures. It will also shut down when the input voltage drops below a configurable cut-off value and restart when the input voltage rises above the restart value, to protect the input source from deep discharge, such as the starter battery.

Remote on/off
The Orion XS can be switched on and off remotely via the remote on/off connector or the VictronConnect App. Typical applications include wiring to a circuit breaker or a battery management system (BMS).

Full electronic protection
Protections include overload, short circuit and over temperature. The charger is protected from over-temperature by reducing the output power when the maximum product temperature is reached.

Can be connected in parallel to increase the output current
Unlimited units can be connected in parallel.

Bluetooth Smart Enabled
Built-in Bluetooth Smart: The wireless solution to change settings, monitor activities and update the Orion XS via your smartphone, tablet or other Apple and Android devices.

VE.Direct and DVCC Port
Used to make a wired connection to a GX device, PC or other devices. Enables advanced monitoring, control and diagnostics from any location.

IP65 protection
The Orion XS meets the IP65 ingress protection rating.
