Argodiode 160-2AC - Diode battery isolator 160 A, 2 batteries
Argodiode 160-2AC is a battery isolator with Schottky diodes that allows two batteries to be charged simultaneously from one alternator, without connecting the batteries together. Discharging the accessory battery does not discharge the starter battery, and the voltage drop remains low. It handles up to 160 A in 12 V or 24 V systems.
Main features:
- Max. charge current: 160 A
- Voltage drop: approx. 0.3 V at low current, 0.45 V at rated current
- Nominal battery voltage: 12 V or 24 V
- Battery/alternator terminals: M8 bolts
- Alternator energize input: yes, Faston 6.3 mm
- Dimensions: 60 x 120 x 150 mm (H x W x D)
Argodiode Battery Isolators allow simultaneous charging of two or more batteries from one alternator, without connecting the batteries together. Discharging the accessory battery for example will not result in also discharging the starter battery. Low voltage drop due to the use of high efficiency Schottky diodes.
