Argodiode 160-2AC 2 batteries 160A

Diode Battery Isolator Argodiode 160-2AC companies Victron Energy This technologically advanced device provides continuous and reliable power to critical devices, such as electronic engine control systems. This isolator model is designed to allow simultaneous charging of two batteries from a single power source, without the need to connect them. This ensures that, in the event of a power source failure, the devices connected to the isolator do not lose power, ensuring continuous system operation. Argodiode 160-2AC allows for simultaneous charging of multiple batteries, which is extremely important in applications requiring safe and stable power supply, such as marine installations, campers or emergency systems.
This isolator uses Schottky diodes, which ensures minimal voltage drop, allowing for maximum system energy efficiency. The standard voltage drop is approximately 0.3V at low current and 0.45V at higher loads, making the device more efficient and minimizing energy loss. This ensures the power supply system operates at maximum efficiency and the batteries are charged evenly and quickly. Furthermore, the isolator Argodiode 160-2AC It has a compensation diode that allows for a slight increase in the voltage at the alternator output, compensating for voltage drops resulting from the operation of the diodes, which ensures even better efficiency of the entire system.

Surge Protection and Stability in Harsh Conditions

Designed to operate in the harshest conditions, the device is exceptionally durable and resistant to surges and changing environmental conditions. Thanks to its robust construction and high-quality components, the isolator can withstand sudden voltage changes, protecting connected devices from damage. This is an ideal solution for installations where reliability and power stability are a priority – such as emergency power systems, marine systems, or recreational vehicles.
One of the key elements of this device is Alternator Energize Input function, which provides additional power to the alternator when the engine run or idle switch is closed. This feature is crucial for alternators that require a constant voltage on the B+ output to initiate charging. Using a diode isolator or FET splitter in the power supply protects the alternator from surges and current returns, ensuring its reliable operation.

Efficient Energy Management and Maximum Performance

Battery isolator Argodiode 160-2AC It's an ideal solution for systems that require simultaneous charging of multiple batteries from a single power source. Thanks to the use of Schottky diode technology, the isolator features minimal voltage drop, allowing for more efficient energy management and better utilization of the alternator or charger's power. The use of a compensation diode further increases system efficiency, allowing for more even battery charging and minimizing energy loss.
One of the most important aspects of the isolator's operation Argodiode 160-2AC is its ability to protect connected devices from surges and voltage fluctuations. With the Alternator Energize Input function, the device provides adequate power to the alternator, eliminating the risk of damage resulting from insufficient or unstable power. This solution makes the power system not only more efficient but also safer and less prone to failures.
