After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to ensure that the battery is completely recharged. The Orion XS includes fully programmable charging algorithms and eight pre-programmed battery settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmart alternator compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn integrated mechanism detects whether the engine is running (engine shutdown detection), which only activates the charger when the alternator supplies power. This ensures that the charger only draws power when the alternator is supplying power, i.e., when the engine is running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow temperature shutdown and input undervoltage protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo prevent damage to lithium batteries, the charger will turn off automatically at low temperatures. It will also shut down when the input voltage drops below a configurable lockout value and restart when the input voltage rises above the restart value, to protect the input source, i.e., the starter battery, from deep discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemote on\/off\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Orion XS can be switched on and off remotely via the remote on\/off connector or the VictronConnect App. Typical applications include wiring a switch or Battery Management System (BMS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth Smart enabled\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth Smart:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wireless solution to change settings, monitor activities, and update the Orion XS software using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, or other devices.
