DC-DC chargers
Victron 60 A DC-DC charger
The largest we would fit off a single alternator, and only where the alternator is genuinely up to it.
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 | 60 A |
| Input | 12/24 V |
| Lithium profile | Yes |
| Monitoring | Bluetooth |
Suitable boat applications
A 150 A alternator feeding a 600 Ah or larger bank.
Compatibility limits to check
Your alternator is under 120 A — this asks it for more than it can sustain all day.
For how to size this against your own boat rather than against a spec sheet, read dc-dc chargers.
Sized for your boat
40 A
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 60 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.
