Description

DC-DC chargers (also called battery-to-battery chargers) connect your van battery to your "house" (camper) battery bank to charge from the vehicle's alternator. They adapt the "raw" current with irregular voltage from the alternator to regulated output power for adaptive 3-stage charging of all types of batteries. This charges the batteries better than simple "isolators" or "relays" and protects your alternator from overloading since the output current is limited to the capacity of the DC-DC charger - 30 amps in the case of this product.

The charger can be turned on and start charging automatically by sensing the incoming voltage (when you're running the van the voltage will be higher) or you can run a trigger wire that provides voltage/triggering when the ignition switch is turned on.

Multiple Orion DC-DC chargers can be connected in parallel to increase total charging output. For instance, you could wire up two of these units to increase your alternator charging capacity to 50 amps. It's recommended that you use a trigger wire connection if using multiple units in parallel.

The unit can be monitored and programmed via Bluetooth.

Dimensions: 7.3" wide x 5.1" tall x 3.2" deep

I’m happy to give a shout out to VanLife Outfitters. These folks are an incredible example of how a company should conduct business. Although I’m building a truck camper, I have bought several things from VanLife outfitters and their customer service is bar none . I would never hesitate recommending VanLife outfitters to anyone whether they are building a van camper or boat. And I might add even a tiny home. Everyone that I’ve talked to have been nothing but incredible. In particular, Jason in technical support was an incredible blessing to me. I had a problem with the Aqua Hot Gen 1 heater I bought from them. It was not the heater fault, but something I did. Jason helped bird-dog the solution and together we got it fixed. He stuck with me, did research, and called me back several times to make sure that the problem was resolved. These people know the business, many have their on rigs, which gives them the best experience. Thanks you Vanlife Outfitters!!!!

My husband and I are doing our first vanbuild. As rookies, we have found Vanlife Outfitters to be a trusted resource for ease of product shopping and purchasing, video demonstrations, guidance and excellent customer service. They were particularly a great one-stop shop when building our electrical system.
