Argo Diode Battery Isolator - 160AMP - 2 Batteries
Diode 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. The Argo Battery Isolators feature a low voltage drop thanks to the use of Schottky diodes: at low current the voltage drop is approximately 0,3 V and at the rated output approximately 0,45 V. All models are fitted with a compensation diode that can be used to slightly increase the output voltage of the alternator. This compensates for the voltage drop over the diodes in the isolator.

The Victron Energy Argo Diode Battery Isolator, part number ARG160201020, is designed to efficiently manage the charging of two batteries from a single alternator without electrical connection between them. This setup ensures that discharging one battery, such as an accessory battery, does not impact the other, like the starter battery, providing reliable power management for your vehicle or marine application. Built with Schottky diodes, this isolator features a low voltage drop—approximately 0.3 volts at low current and around 0.45 volts at rated output—maximizing charging efficiency and minimizing power loss. An integrated compensation diode allows for slight increases in alternator output voltage, offsetting voltage drops caused by diode operation for optimal charging performance.
Constructed with durability and safety in mind, the Victron Argo Diode Battery Isolator is suitable for vehicles requiring robust and reliable dual battery management. Its compact design makes it easy to install in various applications, including trucks, RVs, and boats. The device’s low voltage drop ensures that both batteries receive the appropriate charge without unnecessary energy loss. Additionally, Victron’s commitment to quality is reflected through their comprehensive warranty program. Please consult the provided owners manual for detailed installation instructions and operational guidance.
Note that this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm, in accordance with California Proposition 65. For further information, visit P65Warnings.ca.gov. For support, returns, or repairs, contact your dealer. This isolator is a critical component for anyone needing dependable dual battery management with minimal power loss, making it an excellent choice for demanding electrical setups.
