Description

The Victron Energy Argodiode 160-2AC 160A battery isolator lets two 12V or 24V batteries charge simultaneously from one alternator without electrically connecting the battery banks. Installed between the alternator and batteries, its high-efficiency Schottky diodes help prevent accessory loads from discharging the starter battery while keeping voltage drop low.

It supports up to 160A maximum charge and alternator current and includes a compensation diode plus alternator energize input for compatible charging systems. Designed for dual-battery vehicle and marine installations, it provides dependable battery isolation and efficient alternator charging.

Key Features

Reliable Charging With Battery Isolation

Simultaneous Charging

Charges two batteries simultaneously from one alternator without connecting the banks.

Battery Isolation

Keeps battery banks separated so discharging one does not drain the starter battery.

Low Voltage Drop

Schottky diodes keep voltage drop near 0.3V at low current and 0.45V at rated output.

Voltage Compensation

A compensation diode can raise alternator output to offset isolator voltage loss.

Alternator Energizing

Current-limited energize input supplies B+ voltage when the engine switch closes.

160A Capacity

Supports up to 160A charge and alternator current for dependable dual-battery charging.
