ARG160201020 Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A Victron Energy

A diode battery insulator Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A provide for the simultaneous charging of two or more batteries from one DC charger. For example, if one of the battery is discharged, the starter battery will not be discharged.

The Diode battery isolators Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A are characterized by a low drop voltage Schottky diodes: at small current, the voltage drop will is about 0.3 V, and at nominal power is 0.45 V. All models Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A are equipped with a compensation diode that can be used for a small compensation of the output voltage oscillator. This compensates for the voltage drop across the diodes in the insulator. Please read our book "Energy without Restrictions" or ask for specialist advice when installing a diode isolator. Simply inserting the insulator in the cable between the alternator and the batteries will result in a slight decrease in the charge voltage.

The result may be that the batteries will not be fully charged to 100% state.

Sometimes generators require a DC voltage at the input B + to start charging. Obviously that this constant voltage will be present in the case when charger is directly connected to the battery. Insertion of the diode battery insulator Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A will, however, prevent the battery voltage from reaching B +, and the generator will not start.

The new diode isolator Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A has a special input with current limitation, which supplies power to terminal B +.

With such high output current, amp, Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A has quite compact body size: 60 x 120 x 150 mm.
