Victron Energy Orion XS 1400: 12/24V DC-DC Battery Charger | 1400W, IP65, Bluetooth

Overview

The Victron Energy Orion XS 1400 is an exceptionally compact yet powerful DC-DC charger designed to bridge your engine’s alternator with the house battery. Delivering up to 1400 watts with 98.5% efficiency, it optimizes power transfer in tight spaces and maintains strong performance even in hot engine bays up to 40°C (104°F).

Designed for versatility, the Orion XS 1400 handles 12 V, 24 V, or mixed systems, converting voltage as needed to suit your setup. It works with every alternator type and a wide range of battery chemistries, including lithium LiFePO4, lead-acid, AGM, and gel. A smart power supply mode protects sensitive electronics from voltage fluctuations, helping you preserve your electronics and accessories while charging.

Smart, respectful charging

The Orion XS 1400 uses a adaptive 4-stage charging algorithm that responds to the battery’s discharge level, aiming to optimize charging efficiency and battery longevity. An engine running detection feature prevents unnecessary starter battery drain, aligning charging with real-world vehicle use.

Compatibility and protection

Whether you have 12 V, 24 V, or mixed systems, this charger provides a flexible solution for modern vehicle electricals. It supports a broad array of battery types and helps keep the house battery ready for use without overloading the alternator. The unit presents a controlled load that is compatible with Euro 5/6 alternators, and when paired with conventional units, it includes overload protection for safer lithium charging.
