Victron Argodiode 80-2AC Dual Battery Charger 80A

The Victron Energy ARG080201000R diode battery isolator allows for the effective charging of multiple batteries using a single alternator. By utilizing advanced technology, it ensures that your accessory batteries can be discharged without affecting starter batteries, optimizing the lifespan and performance of your battery systems. This feature-rich device is a great solution for managing battery charging with minimal voltage drop, making it ideal for automotive, marine, and off-grid power setups.

Product Features

Advanced Schottky Diode Technology

Incorporating Schottky diodes, the Victron Energy ARG080201000R maintains a low voltage drop€”approximately 0.3V at low currents and around 0.45V at rated outputs€”enhancing overall battery efficiency.

Compensation Diode Functionality

This feature includes a compensation diode that slightly boosts alternator output voltage, compensating for the voltage drop over the isolator’s diodes and ensuring batteries charge fully.

Purposeful Design for Protecting Starter Battery

This isolator is designed to prevent discharge of the starter battery even if other batteries in the system are depleted, offering added safety and reliability.

Alternator Energize Input

Some models include a special energize input to kick-start alternators that require voltage on the B+ output, enhancing usability for specific setups.

Robust Connection System

Featuring M6 studs and Faston connectors, the device offers a secure and simple installation process, accommodating a variety of configurations effectively.

How It Works

Victron Argodiode works by isolating multiple batteries to enable independent charging from one alternator. This advanced setup prevents backflow that could hinder energy efficiency, ensuring optimal battery performance for both technical and non-technical users.

Efficient Energy Distribution

The isolator efficiently distributes charging energy across multiple batteries without interconnecting them, preventing one battery’s discharge from affecting others.

Enhanced Safety Features

It integrates safety features that minimize risks tied to traditional battery setups, safeguarding both battery health and user safety.

Customizable Charging Solutions

Benefiting from flexible configurations, users can adapt the device to various power management needs, maintaining adaptability across different applications.
