Victron Orion 24/12V - 80A DC-DC Converter IP20

The Victron Orion 24/12-80 DC-DC Converter IP20 is a high-output voltage converter designed to power 12 V systems from a 24 V battery source. It is ideal for use in vehicles, boats, commercial machinery and off-grid battery systems where a reliable and stable 12 V supply is essential. With a non-isolated design and a continuous 80 A output, this converter delivers dependable performance while keeping energy losses low. 

Built for both professional and leisure users, the Orion 24/12-80 features a compact IP20-rated enclosure that fits neatly into electrical compartments and control panels. Its high efficiency of around 92 per cent ensures that most of the energy drawn from the 24 V source is converted into usable 12 V power. This reduces heat build-up and helps improve overall system reliability.  

Installation is simple and flexible thanks to the built-in remote on and off control. This allows the unit to be operated from a low-current switch or linked to your vehicle’s ignition system. The adjustable output voltage makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including powering sensitive electronics or supporting battery charging systems. For larger setups, multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase total current capacity. 

Internally, the Orion converter is engineered with high-quality components and advanced safety features. Protection against overload, overvoltage, undervoltage and overheating helps safeguard both the unit and your electrical system. These features make it well suited to demanding environments where consistent performance is required. 

Whether you are upgrading a campervan, fitting out a marine electrical system or building an off-grid power solution, the Victron Orion 24/12-80 provides a dependable way to convert 24 V battery power into a stable 12 V supply. Its combination of power, flexibility and long-term reliability makes it a trusted choice for serious users.
