Hello. I wish the Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger had a feature that all other Victron chargers have. The output charging current can be limited. This feature came with the XS, but it is not yet available for Orion smart devices 30A and below.
Note: The maximum charging current of my Lifepo4 battery is 20A and I cannot use the 30A Orion smart device I bought because the BMS cuts off the charge due to high current.
Yeah, it sucks. Should see if you can return it and get the 18A
Sorry. It’s been a year since I bought it.
Copied from the Victron-Energy site:
The Smart BMS CL 12/100 and Smart BMS 12/200 have a dedicated alternator input. This input will activate when the
alternator is running, and the starter battery has reached a sufficient voltage. It will current limit the alternator supply and
block reverse current from the lithium battery into the starter battery. It disconnects in case of a battery cell voltage or
temperature alarm.
• The Lynx Smart BMS has an alternator ATC mode, so additional alternator protection is not needed.
So, the BMS will control the charging current. This might make you happy again with your Orion-Tr smart DC-DC Charger
