Description
xVictron Orion XS 1400 DC-DC Battery Charger
The Victron Orion XS 1400 is a non-isolated DC-DC battery charger designed for 24V to 24V vehicle and marine dual-battery systems. It delivers up to 1400W of charging power, making it well suited to professional van conversions, HGV auxiliary systems, and commercial marine installations where fast, reliable secondary battery charging from an alternator is required.
Key Features
- 1400W maximum output power for high-capacity secondary battery charging from a vehicle alternator
- Non-isolated design provides efficient power transfer between batteries at the same nominal voltage
- 24V to 24V operation, suitable for commercial vehicles, HGVs, and 24V marine systems
- Compact and lightweight at 0.56 kg, allowing flexible mounting in tight installations
- Compatible with Victron's VictronConnect app for configuration and monitoring via Bluetooth
- Supports lithium (LiFePO4) and lead-acid battery chemistries on the output
- Designed to protect smart alternators by managing charge current draw intelligently
Product Overview
The Orion XS 1400 sits at the top of Victron's non-isolated DC-DC charger range. Non-isolated converters share a common ground between input and output, which is standard practice in most vehicle and marine dual-battery installations where both batteries are referenced to the same chassis ground. The 1400W power rating means it can charge large lithium or AGM service batteries quickly, even during short driving cycles.
The unit is built to handle the variable output of modern smart alternators, which can fluctuate significantly under load. Rather than drawing a fixed current that risks triggering alternator protection systems, the Orion XS manages its input draw to stay within safe limits. This is particularly relevant in newer commercial vehicles where the alternator is managed by the engine ECU.
Configuration is handled through VictronConnect, where charge profiles, input voltage thresholds, and engine-running detection settings can all be adjusted. The charger can be set to start and stop based on alternator voltage, preventing discharge of the starter battery when the engine is off.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician familiar with dual-battery systems and high-current DC wiring. Correct cable sizing and fusing at both the input and output are essential given the 1400W power level. The non-isolated design requires a shared chassis ground between the starter and service battery circuits. For lithium battery installations, verify that the charge profile is correctly configured in VictronConnect before commissioning.
