Recommended Victron Orion XS 12/12-70A DC-DC Battery Charger  

Updated 10/20/2026 | Published 10/13/2026

Question:

Hello, I have a 2022 Thor Tellaro Class B rv on a 2021 Ram promaster 3500 chassis. Originally the RV came with a Balmar Underhood Generator 2nd alternator to charge the 2 x 300ah Lithium House batteries but I have removed that and would like to install a Victron Orion 12/12-70a DC to DC charger to replace it. Do you carry the 12/12-70 yet? Any info or advice would be great. Thanks

I was on the fence between installing the 12/12-70A DC to DC charger over the 50 amp one and I strongly recommend getting the 70 amp charger for anyone who's looking. The slight cost increase has given me some much needed peace of mind.
