Victron Energy ArgoDiode Battery Isolators 80-2AC (2 Batteries 80 amp), Retail

• Victron Energy ArgoDiode battery isolators 80-2AC allow simultaneous charging of two batteries from one alternator
• Alternator energize input: The new ‘AC’ diode isolators feature a special current limited energize input that will power the B+ when the engine run/stop switch is closed
• Diode Battery Isolators allow simultaneous charging of two or more batteries from one alternator, without connecting the batteries together. Discharging the accessory battery, for example, will not result in also discharging the starter battery
• The Argo Battery Isolators feature a low voltage drop thanks to the use of Schottky diodes
• All models are fitted with a compensation diode that can be used to slightly increase the output voltage of the alternator, this compensates for the voltage drop over the diodes in the isolator

Description 'The Bridges of diodes allow to charge different batteries simultaneously from a single alternator, without connecting the batteries themselves. Even discharged, the batteries remain isolated; this way, the use of the battery service, for example, not can download the starter battery. The Bridges of diodes Argo presented a drop of reduced tension loss thanks to the use of Schottky Diodes: Low Intensity, the will of approximately 0.45 V 0.3 V, and a full performance, all models are equipped with a diode of compensation which allows increase slightly the tension of alternator output to compensate for the loss of tension of the bridge of diodos. For best results, see our bridges of diodes Argo FET without drop of tension. Input Power of the alternator. Some need a DC voltage on the output alternators B + to start charging. Obviously, the CC will be present when the alternator is connected directly to the battery. However, if a diode bridge is inserted or a separator FET, avoid any return of the batteries to the output voltage/current B +, and the alternator is not activated. The new bridges of diode AC "have a special input with output current limiter that nourished the b + Motor Start/Stop When the switch is closed.
