Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart 48/48-8A (380W) Isolated DC-DC Charger

Orion-Tr Smart 48/48-8A (380W) Isolated DC-DC Charger

The Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger is a professional DC to DC adaptive 3-stage charger with built-in Bluetooth.

For use in dual battery systems in vehicles or on boats where the (smart) alternator and the start battery are used to charge the service battery. The unit can be monitored and programmed via Bluetooth and can be remotely controlled via a remote on/off switch and has an engine running detection mechanism.

The Orion-Tr Smart charger can be used in 12V or 24V systems and is suitable for both lead acid and lithium batteries. Models are available up to 400W and unlimited multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase output power.

Suitable for high temperatures up to 55C with a full rated output up to 40C.

Bluetooth Smart enabled

• Any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or other device can be used to monitor, change settings, and update the charger when new software features become available.


• Instant Readout: The VictronConnect App can display key data, including warnings and alarms, on the Device list page without the need to connect to the product.

Fully programmable

• Battery charge algorithm (configurable) or fixed output.


• Smart alternator compatibility: engine running detection mechanism.

Adaptive 3-stage charge algorithm: bulk absorption float

• For lead acid batteries, it is important that during shallow discharges the absorption time is kept short to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged.


• For lithium batteries absorption time is fixed, default 2 hours.


• Alternatively, a fixed output voltage can be chosen.

Suitable for use in vehicles with a smart alternator (Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines)

• The built-in engine shutdown detection will stop the converter when the engine is not running. This prevents unwanted discharge of the starter battery.

Remote on/off

• A remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected to a two-pole connector. Alternatively, the H terminal (right) of the two-pole connector can be switched to battery plus, or the L terminal (left) of the two-pole connector can be switched to battery minus (or the chassis of a vehicle, for example).

All models are short circuit proof and can be paralleled to increase output current

• An unlimited number of units can be connected in parallel.

High temperature protected

• The output current will reduce at high ambient temperatures.

IP43 protection

• When installed with the screw terminals oriented downward.

Screw terminals

• No special tools are needed for installation.

Input fuse (not replaceable)

The Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart 48/48-8A (380W) Isolated DC-DC Charger is a professional-grade solution designed for dual battery systems in vehicles and boats. Its advanced adaptive 3-stage charge algorithm ensures optimal battery health by efficiently managing bulk, absorption, and float phases, with configurable settings tailored for both lead acid and lithium batteries. The integrated Bluetooth functionality allows users to monitor and program the charger remotely using a compatible smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled device through the VictronConnect App, providing real-time data and firmware updates for enhanced usability.

This charger is compatible with 12V and 24V systems and supports high-temperature operation up to 55°C, with a full rated output at 40°C. Its smart alternator compatibility includes engine running detection, which prevents unnecessary discharge of the starter battery during operation. The unit features a remote on/off switch, enabling remote control via relay contact or switch connection, simplifying installation and operation in complex systems. Designed with safety and durability in mind, all models are short circuit proof and can be paralleled infinitely to increase total output power, making it suitable for larger or more demanding applications.

Built to withstand harsh environments, the Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC Charger offers IP43 protection when installed properly and is protected against high ambient temperatures, reducing output current as necessary. The screw terminal connections facilitate easy installation without special tools, while the non-replaceable input fuse provides added safety. Its design is optimized for use with modern vehicles equipped with Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines, featuring a built-in engine shutdown detection mechanism that automatically stops the converter when the engine is not running, thus preventing unwanted battery drain. Whether used in automotive or marine applications, this versatile charger ensures reliable, efficient power management with advanced features and remote control capabilities.
