A fully isolated 24V-to-24V DC-DC charger that lifts a 24V auxiliary battery back to full state from a 24V vehicle alternator. Delivers up to 17A continuous and 400W through a three-stage adaptive algorithm with AGM, gel, flooded and lithium profiles ready to pick in the VictronConnect app. Fits trucks, buses, 24V 4WDs, coach-chassis motorhomes and 24V boat helms where the house bank needs to stay separate from the start battery.

Galvanic isolation between input and output rated to 200V DC keeps a ground loop from forming between vehicle chassis and auxiliary bank. The housing is 130 H × 186 W × 70 D mm at around 1.9 kg, with screw terminals for input, output and remote on/off, plus a Bluetooth radio for VictronConnect. Peak efficiency sits at 89 percent and off-load draw stays under 80 mA, so standby losses stay low.

This unit is 24V input to 24V output only, so do not wire it into a 12V alternator feed. Protect both input and output cables with correctly sized DC fuses at the batteries, and mount it with the terminals facing down to earn the IP43 splash rating. Pair it with VictronConnect on a phone or a GX device for live monitoring.

What sets it apart

True galvanic isolation — 200V DC separation prevents ground loops between vehicle and house bank.

Adaptive 3-stage charging — bulk, absorption and float matched to chemistry, with absorption time scaled from bulk time.

Smart Bluetooth setup — profiles, voltages, alarms and firmware updates through VictronConnect.

Engine running detection — only charges when the alternator is spinning, protecting the start battery.

Parallel capable — stack units for higher current when one unit is not enough.

Mounting and install

Mount vertically with the terminals facing down so the IP43 rating holds in a workshop or utility bay. Keep 100 mm of airflow above and below. Input cable from the alternator or start battery and output cable to the auxiliary bank both need to be sized for 25A peak and fused at both ends close to the batteries. Terminals accept up to 10 mm² ferrules.

The remote on/off terminal pair can be jumpered for always-on, wired to the ignition for engine-only charging, or driven from a battery monitor relay. VictronConnect over Bluetooth sets the chemistry profile, absorption voltage and float voltage before the first run.

Mount vertically on a flat surface with the terminals facing down so the IP43 rating holds. Keep 100 mm of airflow above and below the body. The casing bolts through four integrated feet.

Wire the input from the start battery through a 30A fuse close to that battery. Wire the output from the house bank through a matching 30A fuse close to the house battery. Both runs want 10 mm² cable minimum for the full 17A continuous rating over a short loom. Longer runs step up to 16 mm² to keep voltage drop under 3 percent.

The remote on/off terminal pair can be jumpered for always-on, driven from an ignition feed for engine-only operation, or wired to a BMS low-voltage disconnect signal. VictronConnect over Bluetooth sets the chemistry profile, absorption voltage and float voltage before the first run.

Elevate's licensed electricians (EC17073, Building and Energy WA) can fit this to a vehicle in the Perth workshop, or any qualified auto electrician can install it to AS/NZS 3001.

Not for 48V systems

Q: Can I use this to charge a 12V battery from a 24V vehicle?
No, this is a 24V-to-24V charger only. For a 24V alternator feeding a 12V house bank use the Orion-Tr Smart 24/12 range.

Q: Does it work with lithium batteries?
Yes. VictronConnect carries pre-set profiles for LiFePO4 as well as AGM, gel and flooded lead-acid.

Q: What does isolated actually mean on a DC-DC charger?
Isolated means input and output share no electrical path through the charger. A 200V DC galvanic barrier separates the two sides so a chassis-ground loop between vehicle and house bank cannot form. On a non-isolated unit, input ground and output ground are the same wire.

Q: What does 3-stage adaptive charging mean?
The charger runs bulk current until the battery hits absorption voltage, holds absorption until current tapers, then drops to a maintenance float. Adaptive means the absorption time is set from the bulk time, so a half-flat battery gets a longer top-up than a nearly-full one.

Q: What does IP43 mean?
Protected against solid objects over 1 mm and water splashed from any angle up to 60 degrees from vertical. Mount with terminals facing down for the rating to hold.

Q: Can I run multiple units in parallel for higher current?
Yes. Victron lists unlimited parallel operation. Two units together give 34A, three give 51A, scaled to the alternator's spare capacity.

Q: How do I switch it on and off?
VictronConnect over Bluetooth is the main method. The remote on/off terminal pair can also be driven from a dash switch, the ignition, or a BMS low-voltage disconnect signal. A jumper across the terminals keeps the unit always-on.

Q: What fuse size should I use on each side?
Fuse each 10 mm² cable close to the battery at 30A for the 17A continuous output with margin, or match the fuse to your actual cable size per AS/NZS 3001.

Q: Does Victron publish a warranty on this?
5-year manufacturer warranty against defects, administered by Victron Energy's AU distributor from invoice date.

Q: Can I monitor charging in real time?
Yes. Pair the charger over Bluetooth in VictronConnect to see live voltage, current, stage and alarms. For a system view connect a Cerbo GX or similar via VE.Direct cable.
