Accessories Victron Argodiode Battery Isolator 80-2SC 80A

Details

The Victron Energy Argodiode 80-2SC Battery Isolator, identified by EAN 8719076037347, is an essential component for sophisticated marine and automotive electrical systems requiring the simultaneous charging of multiple battery banks from a single source. This high-efficiency isolator allows an alternator or battery charger to supply current to two independent batteries without connecting them together, which effectively prevents an auxiliary battery from discharging the main starter battery. By utilizing advanced Schottky diodes, the Argodiode 80-2SC achieves a remarkably low voltage drop of approximately 0.3V at low currents and 0.45V at the rated 80 Amp output, ensuring that more power reaches your batteries compared to conventional diode isolators. A standout feature is the integrated compensation diode that can be used to slightly increase the alternator's output voltage, perfectly offsetting the natural voltage drop across the isolator for a full and healthy charge. The unit is housed in a rugged, compact aluminium enclosure designed for professional environments and features M6 terminals for secure electrical connections. This robust 80A model is compatible with both 12V and 24V systems and includes a five-year limited warranty, reflecting Victron Energy's commitment to reliability and long-term performance in harsh conditions. Whether you are managing power for a recreational vehicle or a professional maritime vessel, the Argodiode 80-2SC provides a simple yet highly effective solution for maintaining battery health and ensuring critical starting power is always preserved.
