I have a 2022 Winnebago Micro Minnie FLX travel trailer with 570 Watts of Solar Panels and a 30-amp Solar Charger charging a single 320-amp LiFePo battery. Since I don’t have much of a footprint on the trailer roof for more solar panels, I decided to install a DC-to-DC Charger so my truck could charge the trailer house battery while I was driving, much like camper vans do with built in DC-to-DC Chargers. After doing hours of research and watching a lot of YouTube videos to find the best charger, I settled on the Victron Orion XS 50-amp DC-to-DC Charger. To say I’m extremely pleased with this Victron Charger would be a huge understatement. It has worked beyond my greatest expectations!One problem I did have to overcome was finding the best way to run the input wiring to the Charger from my 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Diesel truck’s primary battery. I finally settled on using 175-amp Anderson connectors to provide the connection between the truck and the trailer and ran Spartan Power 2-AWG welding cables from the truck battery to the truck side Anderson connector and the same gauge cable from the trailer side Anderson connector to a Joinfworld Heavy Duty 400A Bus Bar Distribution Block near the Victron DC-to-DC charger. From the Distribution Block, I transitioned down to Spartan Power 4-AWG welding cable to make the final connection to the Victron charger. To provide further abrasion/heat protection for the positive and negative cables, I double jacketed both 2-AWG welding cables with 1 layer of GEARit 1-1/2” Heat Shrink Tubing and 1 layer of 1-3/8” Automotive Heat Shrink Braided Sleeving. I also incased the truck side Anderson connector in a Trailer Vision Anderson Connector Plug Cover surface mounting kit and the trailer side Anderson connector in a Trailer Vision Anderson Connector Cover Assembly to provide better dust/water protection. Finally, to provide proper circuit protection, I installed a BOJACK in-Line ANL Fuse Holder with 150-Amp Fuse for the positive cable from the truck battery and 2 Young Marine 60-Amp Circuit Breakers for the positive Input and Output of the Victron Charger.I highly recommend the Victron Orion XS 50-amp DC-to-DC Charger. It operates as advertised and the Victron Connect app makes it very easy to setup the charger for various batteries and battery manufacturer settings and to monitor the status of the charging while driving down the road. I’ve even used my truck to charge the battery while boondocking when the solar panels weren’t providing enough charge on very cloudy days. A very nice bonus!

Funktioniert, ist klein. Wird nicht heiß, wie die 30A Variante. Braucht aber definitiv 14V am Eingang, damit auch 700W am Ausgang ankommen.

Läuft reibungslos im T6.1 California Coast inkl. Motorlauf-Erkennung. Einfach ans Trennrelais anschließen. Auf gesonderte Absicherung achten.

Excellent item. Expensive but you get what you pay for. More expensive than then Orion Tr but being slimmer fits under a campervan seat easily.

Tvivla inte, köp! rekommenderar starkt

As with all Victron products, it does what it is meant too and the Blue Tooth interface is excellent.

Wir wollten unseren Redarc 40A DCDC Lader gegen den Victron Orion XS 50A tauschen, um unser Victron System um einen entsprechenden Ladebooster zu komplettieren, leider erreicht er maximal 30A und auch nur manchmal. Oft erreicht er nur ein paar Ampere, so dass die Batterie langsam, während der Fahrt, leer läuft, auch wenn nur der Kühlschrank angeschlossen ist (ca. 165 Watt).Ergänzung vom 02.01.2025:Anscheinend muss sich der Ladebooster sich anlernen. Mittlerweile erreicht er auch mal Ströme bis 45A. Er lädt die Batterie voll und reduziert dann den Ladestrom entsprechend. Ab 40 bis 50 Minuten reduziert er den Ladestrom für 5 Minuten um sich selbst abzukühlen. Der Ladebooster ist unter dem Beifahrersitz unter dem Wechselrichter verbaut - nur leichte Luftzirkulation.

Quick shipping and a reasonable price. After using 6Ga wire and an Anderson connector to connect it to my rear winch connection. The ground was connected to the victron smart shunt I have mounted in my 2023 21 foot Bigfoot trailer.The unit charges 2 12volt 70 amp hr AGM batteries in parallel in the trailer.Due to the smart 130amp Alternator in the Tacoma I had to try several different settings to get it to charge the AGM batteries correctly.In the end the Bulk charge at 14.6v and 27.2 amps from the Orion was better than the 45 amp Lithium capable PDI converter in the trailer.The Battery settings were set to AGM spiral type.The shutdown voltage of 11.8v gave a 34.5 amp input current to the charger from the alternator.The start voltage was 13.5 volts with 0 seconds start voltage delay using a user defined Alternator
