Orion DC-DC discharges the vehicle battery

Hello all,


I have installed severals orion's tr smart isolated dc-dc chargers over the past year, so it's not my first time that I'm talking about this subject. Anyway, this is my second client (rv conversion) that he's complaining that his main (vehicle) battery is completely discharged. I'm trying to figure out why the dc-dc is discharging the main battery..., it's installed, wired & protected according to the manual. I have found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDXixCzg6iw but I tell myself that it's a smart device and it must be some of my settings (by default ones according to the battery technology) that are not good ?


Is the buck boost a better alternative ?

Perhaps you can help us to help by sharing the Orion settings, how it's wired and how you're controlling its behaviour.

Hello, like I said before, I'm using only the default settings from the app connect & the wiring is following the manual...

Completely discharged over what period of time?

Between 2 weeks and 1 month.


The consumption of the Orion is 0,08A so by 24h = 1,92A x 15days = 28,8A x 2 (one month) = 57,6A ...


It's possible that is this "stand by" consumption ?
