Data from official source

Orion XS is a DC-DC battery charger that charges a service battery from another battery, designed for vehicles and marine applications. It charges all common battery types, including lithium and lead-acid, and the charging parameters can be configured from an app. Charging takes place in four stages and adapts to the depth of discharge. Engine-running detection prevents charging when the engine is off, and a limit on the input current helps avoid overloading the alternator. With lithium batteries, charging stops at low temperature. Several units can work in parallel, and remote monitoring is possible. The standard warranty is five years.
