Victron Orion 48/24V 12A 288W DC-DC step-down converter

The Victron Orion 48/24V 12A is a robust, non-isolated DC-DC step-down converter delivering a regulated 24V output at up to 12A (288W) from a 48V battery system. Engineered by Victron Energy — one of the most trusted names in mobile power — this converter operates across a wide input range of 38–60V DC and maintains a high conversion efficiency of up to 93%, keeping heat generation low and protecting your electrical system even in the harsh conditions of the Australian outback. Its wide operating temperature range of −40°C to +60°C means it won't skip a beat whether you're camped on a sweltering Queensland station or parked up in the alpine cold of the Snowy Mountains.

Purpose-built for caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers, and 4WD touring setups running 48V lithium battery banks, this Orion converter lets you power 24V accessories — fridges, lighting, water pumps, communication equipment, or secondary battery circuits — directly from your 48V house battery without compromise. It's the ideal solution for RV and off-road builds transitioning to higher-voltage 48V systems while still needing to feed legacy 24V loads, and it pairs seamlessly with Victron's broader ecosystem of solar charge controllers, battery monitors, and inverter-chargers. Compact enough to mount almost anywhere in a van or trailer fit-out, it's a set-and-forget converter for Australian travellers who demand reliable power, mile after mile.
