Features & Benefits Simple and safe to operate with the engineered safety margins required for high power vehicle applications ranging from 6V to 48V and 25A to 350A. When the alternator is connected directly to the batteries this is not a problem, but when adding a battery isolator the alternator loses this DC power source. Standard or Schottky diode options are available. Some alternators require DC voltage to start charging.
#DIODE BATTERY ISOLATOR FULL#
With almost no voltage drop, batteries are charged at the full voltage of the alternator allowing quicker and complete charging.įET Battery Isolators also feature a B+ power output to avoid alternator start problems. Voltage drop is less than 0.02 V at low current and averages 0.1 V at higher currents rather than a typical 1 V with standard diode battery isolators.

Victron Energy FET Battery Isolators use FET transistors and have virtually no voltage loss. Discharging the accessory battery for example will not result in also discharging the starter battery. Charge multiple batteries or battery banks from a single alternator or charging source without connecting the batteries or battery banks together, avoiding a complete battery discharge if batteries are connected for charging and not separated when charging has finished. Argo Diode Battery Isolator - 160AMP - 2 BatteriesDiode battery isolators allow simultaneous charging of two or more batteries from one alternator, without connecting the batteries together.
