Victron Orion 24/12-70A DC-DC Converter IP20

Should I be getting back feed from the 12V terminal to the 24V terminal?

I have a disconnect on the 24v source and the main battery, however the DC-DC converter is back feeding 12V to the disconnected 24V bus that it is attached too from a battery on the 12V bus.

Do I have defective unit?

I had the same issue. I installed a high amperage diode between the 24V supply and the converter 24VDC input.
