Victron Argodiode 160-2AC battery isolating diode 160A for 2 batteries

Victron Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A

Battery isolators allow simultaneous charging of multiple batteries from one power source, without the individual batteries being connected to each other. For example, the service battery can be discharged without simultaneously discharging the starter battery. The use of modern Schottky diodes also keeps the voltage drop small. It is approx. 0.3 V at low currents and approx. 0.45 V at nominal current.

 

 

All models in this series are equipped with a compensation diode, which slightly increases the alternator's output voltage to compensate for the voltage drop caused by the Schottky diodes.

 

Alternator start-up excitation Some alternator types require a DC voltage at the B+ terminal for start-up excitation. On the one hand, a direct cable connection exists due to the connection between the battery and the alternator. On the other hand, the isolating diode prevents current backflow, so the alternator does not start. The new 802AC battery isolator has a special current-limited connection for start-up excitation when the alternator is started.
