Wire input to the starter battery and output to the LiFePO4 bank with proper fusing, then select the lithium preset in VictronConnect and set your target charge voltage. Enable engine running detection so charging only occurs while the engine runs.
In the VictronConnect app, adjust the input current limit to match your alternator's capacity. This prevents overload on Euro 5/6 intelligent alternators while maximizing charge rate safely.
Connect the input terminals to the starter battery (fused close to the battery), the output terminals to the house battery (also fused), and ground both sides. Use wire sized for 50A continuous and follow all electrical codes.
It senses when the engine is running and only then enables charging, protecting the starter battery and working with any 12V alternator, including smart alternators.

Installed this in my van to charge a 300Ah LiFePO4 bank from the starter battery. The 50A output is no joke — a couple hours of driving brings the house bank right back up. Configuration through Bluetooth was straightforward, and the temperature-based alternator protection gives me peace of mind with my smart Euro 6 alternator. This is the gold standard for DC-DC charging.
My 2022 truck has a variable-voltage alternator that confused my old charger constantly. The Orion-XS handles it perfectly with its engine detection. Full output, clean charging, and the IP65 housing means I didn't worry about mounting in the engine bay area. Highly recommended for newer vehicles.
Does everything promised — 700W of charging, configurable profiles, solid app. It does generate real heat at full output so mount it with airflow in mind. Cabling needs to be appropriately sized too; don't cheap out there. Performance itself has been flawless for five months.
Charging performance is great once installed, but be prepared for a proper wiring job — heavy gauge cables, fusing, and a good mounting spot. Budget for the extra parts and possibly an auto electrician. The unit itself seems well made.
Ran this hard across 4,000 miles of overlanding with the fridge and inverter constantly draining the house battery. It kept up every single day, even in 100-degree heat. Zero faults, zero dropped Bluetooth connections. Couldn't ask for more.
Compared to my old isolated charger this one barely hums and wastes much less power as heat. The Bluetooth configuration let me fine-tune the charge profile to my lithium spec sheet exactly. Only wish it came with a mounting template.
Charges well but the cooling fan is noticeably loud inside my small camper when running at high output. May relocate it further from the living space.
Upgraded from the Orion-Tr Smart and the XS is a clear step up — more output, better efficiency, finer configurability. If you're on the fence, make the jump. Victron ecosystem integration is a bonus.
Keeps my trolling motor battery topped up on the run between spots. Waterproof housing is perfect for a wet environment. Setup took 20 minutes with the app. Very happy.
The unit performs well but the printed instructions are minimal. I figured everything out through YouTube and the app itself. Would have appreciated clearer wiring guidance for multi-battery setups.
Second Victron product in my system and the consistency is why I keep coming back. Charges fast, configures easily, hasn't skipped a beat. The IP65 rating meant I could mount it in a dusty location without worry.
50 amps from a DC-DC charger, Bluetooth, waterproof, configurable — this is engineering done right.
