DC-DC chargers
Victron 30 A DC-DC charger
The smaller Victron, and the sensible answer on a boat with a modest alternator that talks to the rest of a Victron system.
Specifications and model checks
This profile identifies a brand and rating or model family. Confirm the precise variant and current datasheet; voltage, monitoring and environmental limits can vary between versions.
| Charge current | 30 A |
| Input | 12/24 V |
| Lithium profile | Yes |
| Monitoring | Bluetooth |
Suitable boat applications
A 60 A alternator, or a 200 Ah bank where 30 A is the cell-side ceiling.
Compatibility limits to check
You have a 120 A alternator and a large bank — you are leaving charge on the table.
For how to size this against your own boat rather than against a spec sheet, read dc-dc chargers.

Charge current for a 400 Ah bank on a 90 A alternator
This is a ceiling, not a target. A charger larger than your alternator can sustain is the failure this whole page exists to prevent, so we list what fits at or under it — biggest first.
5 options fit — the first is the one we would fit
Before choosing Victron 30 A
Match the charger to the installed charging system
Check the input source, battery requirements and the alternator’s available continuous output under actual operating conditions. Include other engine electrical demand in the assessment. Maximum charger output is not a promise of output at every temperature or speed, and the design needs to account for control signals and protection behaviour as well as current.
Confirm specifications against the exact model and revision offered by the supplier. A listed price band is a planning reference; request a current written quote with installation and commissioning separated from equipment supply.
