Description
50A DC-DC Converter for charging a 12V or 24V service battery in vehicles with a smart alternator
(regenerative braking, Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines)
The Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter is a DC-DC Converter for charging a 12V or 24V service battery in
vehicles with a smart alternator. The converter will charge the auxiliary battery with a pre-set charge
voltage, eliminating high voltages (e.g. Mercedes: 15,4V) and low voltages.
‘Engine running’ detection system
Deep discharge of the vehicle’s starting battery is avoided by a built-in ‘engine running’ detection
system.
Instead of this detection system, the converter can also be activated by means of a programmable
input (D+, CAN bus or (+)15 connection).
Fully programmable
The converter can be fully programmed by means of a simple and user-friendly PC application.
(USB type A male to USB type B male cable needed)
One product for 12V, 24V and 12/24V systems
The converter can be programmed to charge a 12V or a 24V auxiliary battery from either a 12V or a
24V alternator and starter battery.
Charge current and input current limiter
The output current is determined by the following factors:
– The maximum charge current setting.
– The maximum input current setting.
– The maximum operating temperature limit of the converter.
Input status indication (LED)
Green: converter on.
Yellow: input voltage below the threshold, converter off.
Red: over temperature, converter off.
Blue, quick flash: engine running, the converter will start after a preset delay.
Blue, slow flash: the converter is OFF and activation is blocked due to low input voltage.
Output status indication (LED)
Green: converter off, battery voltage normal.
Yellow: converter off, battery voltage low.
Red: converter off, battery discharged or not connected.
Purple: converter on.

The Victron Energy 50A Buck-Booster DC/DC Converter is amazing. Simply fantastic product for people looking for something that can easily converts a high voltage to low voltage. It’s efficient, it can be used for both 12V and 24V service battery in vehicles with a smart alternator. Glad I went with this one.

I didn’t realize Victron Energy had a Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter till I saw this. I was looking for decent one through out the market then stumbled upon this and I gotta say it works really well. So far it hasn’t let me down and I have used it a couple of times, highly recommend it it.

I bought the 50A Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter from Canbat and they were very helpful, they gave lots of information about it, great customer service from them. This is the best place to buy Victron equipments and batteries. 5 STARS!!!!

This one is bit pricey but then again a good quality 50A BUCK-BOOST DC/DC CONVERTER that can be used for service batteries in vehicles can be expensive. I was bit skeptical about it when I bought this but it kinda exceeded my expectation. It’s fully programmable, can be used for both 12V and 24V systems, and it has a detection system for engine running. Overall I would say that it’s Victron made, and Victron always makes pretty good products.
