Description

The Victron Energy Argodiode 180-3AC 180A battery isolator allows three 12V or 24V batteries to charge simultaneously from one alternator without connecting the battery banks together. Installed in the charging cable between the alternator and batteries, its high-efficiency Schottky diodes help prevent an accessory battery from discharging the starter battery.

It supports up to 180A charging current, with about 0.3V drop at low current and 0.45V at rated output. A compensation diode and alternator energize input support compatible alternators, making it a dependable solution for multi-battery vehicle and marine charging systems.

Key Features

Reliable Charging Across Three Battery Banks

Simultaneous Charging

Charges three 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.

180A Capacity

Handles up to 180A of charge current for demanding three-battery charging systems.

The Quattro is used in larger and more complex off-grid and hybrid systems requiring full redundancy.

Can I use Victron products with non-Victron batteries?

Yes. Victron MPPT controllers, inverter chargers, and battery chargers are compatible with most third-party batteries including Pylontech LiFePO4 batteries stocked at Volts Energies. Some advanced integration features such as dynamic charge current control require compatible BMS communication with GX devices.

What is the VictronConnect app used for?

VictronConnect lets you configure, monitor and update all Victron Smart-series products wirelessly over Bluetooth from any iOS or Android device, set charge parameters, view live data and read history.

Do Victron products work in cold Canadian winters?

Yes. Victron inverters and chargers are rated to perform reliably from −40°C to +65°C, making them well suited to year-round Canadian off-grid, cabin and marine use.
