Durable Victron Argodiode Battery Isolator 80-2ac - 2 Batteries - 80a [arg080201000] In Multiple Colors [g1vlNWcP]

Victron Argodiode Battery Isolator 80-2AC

The Victron Argodiode Battery Isolator 80-2AC is a cutting-edge solution for simultaneous charging of two or more batteries from a single alternator. This isolator ensures that discharging an accessory battery does not affect the starter battery, providing optimal performance and longevity for both. With its high-efficiency Schottky diodes, the isolator offers a low voltage drop, ensuring efficient energy transfer and reducing energy loss.

Key Features and Specifications

The Argodiode Battery Isolator 80-2AC is designed with user convenience in mind. It features a low voltage drop, with approximately 0.3V at low current and 0.45V at the rated output. This minimizes energy loss and maximizes the efficiency of your charging system. Additionally, all models are equipped with a compensation diode, which can be used to slightly increase the output voltage of the alternator, compensating for the voltage drop over the diodes in the isolator. This ensures that your batteries receive a consistent and effective charge.

Practical Applications and Benefits

The Victron Argodiode Battery Isolator 80-2AC is ideal for various applications, including marine, automotive, and renewable energy systems. Its special current-limited energize input ensures that your alternator will start charging when the engine run/stop switch is closed, preventing any return voltage/current from the batteries to the B+. This feature is particularly useful for alternators that require DC voltage on the B+ output to start charging. With the isolator in place, you can rest assured that your batteries will be charged efficiently without the risk of premature aging. Additionally, the isolator's simple installation between the alternator and the batteries ensures a seamless integration into your existing system.
