Specifications
Product Description
The Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-18A 220W is an isolated DC-DC converter with Bluetooth designed to charge 12V auxiliary batteries from a 12V system with precision and safety. Its programmable charging algorithm, automatic engine running detection, and robust electrical protection ensure a full charge without discharging the starter battery, even in Euro 5/Euro 6 vehicles and installations with long cable runs such as boats and motorhomes.
Main Features
- 200V galvanic isolation between input, output, and casing for maximum electrical safety.
- Integrated Bluetooth Smart for configuration and monitoring with the VictronConnect app, including instant readout.
- Adaptable 3-stage charging algorithm (bulk, absorption, float) or selectable fixed output.
- Continuous output current of 18A and 220W power at 40 °C (280W at 25 °C) with controlled thermal derating.
- Wide input range 8–17V and adjustable output 10–15V with ±0.2V tolerance; noise level 2 mV rms.
- IP43 protection (electronics) and IP22 (connection area), short-circuit proof, and unlimited parallel connection.
Advantages or Benefits
- Full and controlled charging of the auxiliary battery, extending its service life in demanding cyclic use.
- Prevents discharge of the starter battery thanks to engine running detection for smart alternators.
- Quick Bluetooth configuration: voltages, times, and profiles (lead-acid or lithium) without cables or PC.
- Simple integration with screw terminals and wiring up to 16 mm²; compact and lightweight installation.
- Victron reliability in mobile environments: operating temperature -20 to +55 °C and progressive power derating.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for camper vans, 4x4s, ambulances, vehicles with Euro 5/6 alternators, boats, and 12V auxiliary systems requiring stable charging of service batteries, onboard electronics, or refrigerators.
