Victron Orion XS 12|12 50A Smart DC/DC Charger

[James Bentley]

Does anyone know of an authorized seller that has these in stock?

I only want one = Do you want to sell yours?

Seems pre-orders are everywhere. (Why didn't I order this back in January!)

I'm already using other Victron products and their app.

I'm a Victron fan and I tried to get one of these in January for installation in our new travel trailer so it could be charged by our tow vehicle. I was told by the RV dealer who was doing the installation that they were "ungettable" until summer. They expected them to be available in Europe a bit earlier, like now. I went with a REDARC BCDC 1250D and was actually happier with that choice because I had the RV dealer add a side inlet for solar panels as the REDARC has a built-in MPPT controller and the Victron does not.

+1 RedArc all day long.
There's some 50A Orions on ebay.

TBF, I did add a Victron BlueSolar to my setup to take over primary controller duties simply so that the RedArc controller enables redundancy in a failure event.
So far so good - a comfort that redundancy provides regardless.

Given the price of the Redarc (in stock and available) I am going to wait on InvertersRus.com to ship my Orion XS. Thanks for the feedback!

Wait away.
So long as it doesn't look like this when it arrives.

Not saying that it will.
But there are evidently "tiny differences" among units, is all.
This particular unit is marketed as having a 240V input and manufactured by "Generic".
