Victron 50A Charging Bundle – SmartSolar 100/50 & Orion XS 12/12-50A

Power your 12V auxiliary battery from both solar and your vehicle's alternator with the Victron 50A Charging Bundle. Combining the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 Solar Charge Controller with the Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC Battery Charger, this bundle provides two high performance charging sources for 4WDs, caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes and other off grid touring systems.

Both chargers feature built in Bluetooth and can be configured through the VictronConnect app, giving you control over solar charging, alternator charging and battery specific settings from your phone. This bundle is well suited to 4WD dual battery systems, caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes, service vehicles and other 12V touring systems that need reliable charging from both solar and the vehicle alternator.

Bundle & Save

Save when you purchase this bundle compared to buying each component individually. Every product has also been carefully selected to work seamlessly together, helping simplify your installation while taking the guesswork out of building a reliable off grid power system.

Charge from Solar and Your Alternator

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 manages energy from your solar array, while the Orion XS charges the auxiliary battery from the vehicle's alternator whenever you're driving. The two chargers can operate independently or at the same time, allowing solar to continue contributing while the vehicle is running and reducing reliance on any single charging source.

With both chargers operating at their maximum output, the battery system can potentially receive close to 100A of combined charging current. Battery charge limits, BMS capacity, cabling and circuit protection should therefore be considered when designing the complete system.

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 uses Maximum Power Point Tracking technology to continually find the most productive operating point of the connected solar array as sunlight and panel conditions change.

On a 12V battery system it supports up to 700W nominal PV power, with a maximum PV open circuit voltage of 100V and up to 50A of battery charging current. The controller also supports up to 60A PV short circuit current, making it suitable for a wide range of fixed and portable solar configurations when the array is correctly designed.

Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A

The Orion XS charges a 12V auxiliary battery from the vehicle's 12V electrical system and supports both conventional and smart alternators. Input and output current can be adjusted between 1A and 50A through VictronConnect, allowing the charger to be matched to alternator capacity, battery charge limits or an existing cable installation rather than automatically operating at full output. With up to 98.5% efficiency and 700W continuous output at ambient temperatures up to 40°C, the Orion XS delivers high current charging from a compact, fanless unit.

Smart Alternator Compatible

The Orion XS includes automatic engine shutdown detection and configurable settings for conventional and smart alternators. This allows the charger to recognise when the engine is running and manage auxiliary battery charging accordingly, without necessarily requiring a separate ignition trigger in every installation.Vehicle specific requirements should still be checked before installation.

Battery Compatibility

The charging parameters of both devices can be configured for common 12V battery chemistries including LiFePO4, AGM, GEL and flooded lead acid batteries. Battery charging voltages and maximum charge current should always be matched to the battery manufacturer's specifications.

For lithium systems in particular, check the battery's recommended charge rate and BMS limits against the potential combined output of both chargers.

Installation Considerations

A system capable of close to 100A combined charging requires appropriately sized battery cabling and circuit protection. The SmartSolar array must remain within the controller's 100V maximum PV open circuit voltage and 60A maximum PV short circuit current, including any increase in panel Voc during cold conditions.

The Orion XS installation also needs to account for cable length, voltage drop, alternator capacity and battery charge limits. Victron specifies external battery protection in the 60–70A range for the Orion XS, with cable size selected according to the installation length and current.

Smart Control with Bluetooth Monitoring

Built-in Bluetooth connectivity lets you configure and monitor live data through the VictronConnect app—battery voltage, charging current, solar yield, and historical performance, directly from your smartphone.
