It accepts a 9-35V input range, has an adjustable 10-35V output range, and can deliver up to 1400W of continuous output at 40°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unit is a strong fit for boats with separate starter and house battery banks, especially where alternator output, long cable runs, or different system voltages make direct charging less predictable. Input and output current can be adjusted from 1-50A, so the charger can be matched to the alternator, wiring, and battery bank instead of forcing a fixed charge profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fanless housing helps keep noise and moving parts out of the installation, while the IP65 rating gives protection against dust and heavy rain. Configuration and monitoring are handled through VictronConnect, with Bluetooth Smart built in and VE.Direct available for integration with compatible Victron GX systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1400W continuous output at 40°C for charging larger service banks from an alternator-fed DC system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide 9-35V input and 10-35V adjustable output ranges for 12V, 24V, and mixed-voltage installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent setting range of 1-50A lets the installer limit alternator load and match the charger to the boat’s wiring and battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks as a DC-DC battery charger or as a power supply with output voltage set through VictronConnect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth Smart supports setup, monitoring, firmware updates, warnings, and alarms through the VictronConnect app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVE.Direct port supports wired connection to compatible Victron GX devices for monitoring, diagnostics, DVCC, and VRM access when the wider system is configured for it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdaptive four-stage charging supports lithium and common lead-acid battery types, with preset and customizable charge settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine shutdown detection helps the charger draw from the alternator when the engine is running, reducing the risk of draining the starter battery at rest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote on\/off input can be wired to a switch or compatible BMS control signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP65 housing is dust-tight and protected against heavy rain, which suits protected marine electrical spaces that may see damp air or splash exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanless operation reduces noise and removes a common wear point in engine room, locker, or equipment-bay installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew terminals accept cable up to 4 AWG, with compact dimensions of 138.1 x 124.4 x 53 mm for tight mounting spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount this charger in a protected, ventilated location where cable runs can be kept practical and service access remains possible. The IP65 rating helps with damp marine environments, but it should still be installed away from standing water, direct bilge exposure, oil mist, and high heat sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor alternator charging, the adjustable input current is one of the most important setup points. It lets the installer reduce load on the alternator and tune the charge behavior to the actual electrical system on board, rather than relying on a one-size setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orion XS 1400 can handle 12V to 12V, 24V to 24V, 12V to 24V, and 24V to 12V use cases within its voltage limits, which makes it useful on boats with mixed DC architecture or dedicated electronics supply requirements. It can also be paralleled with additional Orion XS units when a system needs more charging current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBluetooth setup through VictronConnect is useful during commissioning because charge voltage, current limits, battery presets, remote on\/off behavior, and related settings can be checked without opening a panel once the unit is accessible by app. In larger Victron installations, the VE.Direct connection can tie the charger into a GX device for central monitoring and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis charger suits cruising boats, fishing boats, workboats, and refit projects where the house battery needs controlled charging from the engine alternator. It is also practical when lithium batteries are added to a vessel that still needs alternator protection, low-temperature lithium shutdown, and configurable charge behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor boats with sensitive DC electronics or a mixed 12V and 24V layout, it can also serve as a stable DC power supply within its rated voltage and power limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit does not require regular maintenance, but the installation should be kept clean and dry. Check terminals and cabling during routine electrical inspections, especially on boats that see vibration, salt air, or seasonal layup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52581877186741,"sku":"QBP070292","price":356.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1332324_qbp070292.png?v=1780201057","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp070292","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
