Description
🚨 Victron just released the Orion XS DC-DC charger in a 70A version — and pre-orders are open now.
If you know the 50A Orion XS, this is the same charger with more muscle: 1,000 watts of continuous output, which works out to 40% faster alternator charging. For every 5 hours of drive time, that's an extra 100Ah back in your battery bank.
The best part? It's a true drop-in upgrade:
✅ Identical dimensions — swaps straight into the 50A's mounting spot
✅ Same 98.5% efficiency, Bluetooth, VictronConnect, and VE.Direct
✅ Keep your existing 4AWG wire — just upsize the fuse/breaker (60A → 100A for single setups)
✅ Runs on a 140A+ alternator, which is standard in most modern vehicles
Heads up: it's 12V-in / 12V-out only at this time — no ETA on 24V or 48V versions yet.
These land in about 7 weeks. We have 200 units reserved for our customers, orders are fulfilled first-come first-served (Pro Support Gold+ members get priority), and we do expect to sell out.
