In this video, we’ll show you how to install TWO Victron Orion DC-DC Chargers in our Ford Transit Camper Van Conversion to charge our house battery bank from the engine alternator. Two Victron Orions charge twice as fast — this setup is our best option (as of now) for alternator charging in a Transit Van. Below, you’ll also find a step-by-step guide on how to program the Dual Orion / SmartShunt in the VictronConnect app, featured on the EXPLORIST.life blog. 🔧 Products featured in this video • Victron Orion XS 1400 DC-DC Charger https://shop.explorist.life/shop/all-products/victron-orion-xs-1400-dc-dc-charger/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=victron_orion_xs_product_link • Dual Victron Orion XS 12/12-50 DC-DC Charger Wiring Kit https://shop.explorist.life/shop/all-products/dual-victron-orion-xs-12-12-50-dc-to-dc-charger-wiring-kit/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=dual_victron_orion_wiring_kit_link • Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor https://shop.explorist.life/shop/all-products/victron-bmv-712-battery-monitor/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=victron_bmv712_product_link • Battle Born Batteries https://shop.explorist.life/product-category/all-products/components/batteries/brand-battle-born/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=battle_born_batteries_link 💡 Explore More from EXPLORIST.life • Shop EXPLORIST.life products: https://shop.explorist.life/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=shop_home_link • EXPLORIST.life Academy: https://academy.explorist.life/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=academy_home_link • Installations: https://shop.explorist.life/installations?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=installations_link • Memberships: https://shop.explorist.life/shop/all-products/membership-tiers/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=membership_tiers_link 📚 Additional Resources • Transit Van Build Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVfA4XCYJBkzfUXunSON1zX&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=transit_build_playlist_link • DIY Camper Solar Wiring Diagrams https://www.explorist.life/solarwiringdiagrams?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=solar_wiring_diagrams_link • How to Cut Wire https://www.explorist.life/how-to-cut-wire/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=transit_alternator_dual_victron_orions&utm_content=how_to_cut_wire_link
