Description
xVictron Orion XS 1400 DC-DC Battery Charger (Non-Isolated)
The Victron Orion XS 1400 is a non-isolated DC-DC battery charger designed for 24V to 24V dual-battery systems in vehicles, boats and off-grid installations. It delivers up to 1400W of charging power, making it well suited to professional mobile and marine applications where a secondary battery bank needs reliable, high-current charging from the alternator or main battery.
Key Features
- Non-isolated DC-DC architecture suitable for 24V to 24V battery charging applications.
- 1400W maximum output power provides high-current charging for large auxiliary battery banks.
- Compatible with a wide range of battery chemistries including lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel and lead-acid.
- Designed to protect the vehicle or vessel alternator by limiting input current draw.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.56 kg, making installation straightforward in confined spaces.
- Integrates with the Victron ecosystem via VE.Direct for monitoring and configuration through VictronConnect.
- Suitable for use in dual-battery systems where both banks share a common negative (non-isolated topology).
Product Overview
The Orion XS 1400 sits within Victron's Orion XS range, which is built specifically for high-power DC-DC battery-to-battery charging. Unlike basic voltage-sensitive relays or simple DC-DC converters, the Orion XS applies a proper multi-stage charge algorithm to the secondary battery, ensuring it reaches full charge rather than just a partial state of charge dictated by the source voltage.
The non-isolated design means the input and output share a common ground. This is appropriate for most vehicle and marine installations where both batteries are referenced to the same chassis or hull ground. If electrical isolation between the two battery banks is required, a different product from the isolated Orion range would be needed. For the majority of standard dual-battery setups, the non-isolated topology is both sufficient and more efficient.
At 1400W, this unit is one of the higher-output options in the Orion XS range, capable of delivering substantial charge current to a lithium or lead-acid auxiliary bank during transit. This is particularly relevant for campervans, HGVs, commercial vehicles and larger leisure craft where battery capacity has grown beyond what lower-power DC-DC chargers can keep up with.

Installation Notes
The Orion XS 1400 should be installed by a qualified auto-electrician or marine electrician familiar with high-current DC systems. At 1400W, cable sizing, fusing and connection quality are critical to safe operation. The non-isolated topology requires both battery banks to share a common negative; verify this is the case before installation. For lithium battery installations, confirm the charge profile settings via VictronConnect before commissioning. This product is not intended for grid-connected or AC-coupled applications.
