For charging the LiFePO4 270Ah Battle Born battery in my slide-in camper, I would like to wire in parllel two Orion XS 12/12-50A DC-DC battery chargers, to my truck’s starter battery. The truck, a 2024 Ford F350, has a 410-amp alternator.
I would really appreciate it if someone could review my wiring diagram, which I cobbled together in haste from the Orion XS manual “connection setup for charger mode.”
One change to this diagram that I will probably make, is NOT to connect both Orion XSs to Cerbo GX. This is because this seems to make serious problems, as reported in these two posts.
- “Dual Orion XS 50 DC-DC chargers in parallel only yields 46a”
- In VRM and Victron Connect app, the Orion XS’s “… Values and numbers hop from one device to the other”
Here is my kind of sloppy diagram. Thank you.
