Isolated DC-to-DC Converters (Orion-Tr Series)
Isolated converters provide complete electrical separation between input and output, reducing noise and enhancing system safety.
Perfect for sensitive electronics, multi-battery systems, and marine or industrial use.
- Models: 12/12V, 24/24V, 12/24V, 24/48V
- Adjustable output voltage
- Remote on/off terminals
- Compatible with lithium and AGM batteries
Non-Isolated DC-to-DC Converters (Orion Series)
Designed for straightforward voltage conversions without galvanic isolation. Compact and cost-effective for basic dual battery setups.
- Models: 24/12V, 12/24V, 12/12V
- High efficiency and silent operation
- Suitable for RVs, vans, and backup power systems
Buck-Boost DC-to-DC Converters
These smart converters maintain a stable output even when the input voltage fluctuates, making them ideal for dynamic loads or alternator charging.
- Example: Victron 100A Buck-Boost Converter
- Automatic input detection
- Fully programmable with VictronConnect
Frequently Asked Questions
#1 What’s the difference between isolated and non-isolated DC-to-DC converters?
Isolated converters separate the input and output electrically, adding protection for sensitive systems. Non-isolated converters share a common ground and are suitable for simpler setups.
#2 Can I use these to charge lithium batteries?
Yes. Most Victron converters are fully compatible with LiFePO4 and other lithium battery chemistries.
#3 Which model do I need for my RV?
That depends on your battery voltage and alternator specs. The most common setup is a 12V Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger with Bluetooth monitoring.
