Victron Orion XS 50A Split Charge Kit

✓ 98.5% Efficiency✓ 50A Output✓ Bluetooth Monitoring✓ Latest Generation✓ Van-Specific Cables
Next-generation 50A DC-DC split charge kit with 98.5% efficiency and van-specific cable kit — maximum charging speed for large systems

Delivers a serious 50A charge to your leisure battery whilst you drive — recovering up to 50Ah per hour for large lithium banks. The Orion XS is Victron's latest-generation charger, running at 98.5% efficiency so virtually no energy is wasted as heat, even at full output.

Built-in Bluetooth gives you complete control — open the VictronConnect app to see main and leisure battery voltage and charge state, and adjust the charge current to suit your alternator. No guesswork.

The cable kit — 25mm² for runs over 5m, 16mm² under — is pre-cut to the length for your van model and battery location, with ring terminals professionally crimped and inline fuses fitted. It's built to carry 50A continuously without voltage drop, so all that charging power actually reaches your battery.

📦 What's Included

1

Victron Orion XS 50A DC-DC Charger

  • Latest-generation isolated charger with 98.5% efficiency, 50A output, and full Bluetooth control. The most efficient way to charge large lithium banks from your alternator.
2

Van-Specific Cable Kit (Orion XS 50A)

  • 25mm² tri-rated copper cable — heavy enough to carry 50A continuously without voltage drop. Pre-cut to the length for your van model and battery location, professionally crimped, inline fuses fitted.

⚡ Key Features

0198.5% Efficiency Means More Power, Less Heat

Older DC-DC chargers waste 10-15% of their input as heat. The Orion XS wastes just 1.5% — so more of your alternator's power reaches your battery, and the charger runs cool even at 50A sustained output.

0250A Recovers Large Banks Quickly

For a 300Ah lithium bank at 50% discharge, the XS 50A recovers 150Ah in about 3 hours of driving. Standard 18A chargers would take over 8 hours. If you run big loads or drive short distances, this is the difference between arriving charged and arriving low.

03Full Bluetooth Control

Adjust the output current to protect smaller alternators, see both input and output battery voltage and charge profile live, and update firmware — all from your phone. The VictronConnect app gives you the same control the pros have, without needing a Cerbo GX dashboard.

04Built for Lithium

The Orion XS is designed around lithium charging profiles, with precise voltage control that protects the battery management system. It also handles lead-acid and AGM if your setup changes down the road.

❓ FAQ

Is 50A too much for my alternator?

The Orion XS lets you limit the charge current via Bluetooth, so you can match it to your alternator's spare capacity. Most modern vans handle 50A comfortably — but if you're unsure, drop the current to 30A or 40A in the app and watch how your batteries respond.

What's the difference between the XS 50A and the Smart 30A?

The XS is the newer generation: 98.5% efficiency vs 87%, higher output, and a more compact case. The Smart 18A and 30A are proven workhorses at a lower price point. Choose XS if you're charging large lithium banks or want maximum efficiency.

Do I need heavier cable for 50A?

Yes — and this kit includes the right one. Runs over 5m get 25mm², which carries 50A continuously without voltage drop; runs under 5m get 16mm², which is up to the job at that length. The cable kit is pre-cut and pre-fused for your specific van.

Will this work with AGM batteries?

Yes, the Orion XS supports AGM, gel, and lead-acid charging profiles alongside lithium. Select your battery type in the VictronConnect app during setup.
