The Victron Argo 160-2ac battery separation diode (MPN ARG160201020) enables the loading distribution from a power source (e.g. alternator) on 2 battery cycle.
With the help of battery separating diodes, 2 separate battery circuits can be loaded from just one power source. The batteries do not have to be connected to each other, which simplifies the installation of these separation diodes very much and even saves installation costs.
Technical features of the Victron Argo 160-2ac battery separation diode
- The ARGO series uses the latest Shottky diodes to keep the voltage loss as low as possible
- has electricity -limiting connection for the generator's start -up (e.g. alternator, alternator)
- The Model ARGO 160-2AC delivers a maximum charging current of 160a and can operate 2 separate batteries or battery tie
- Maximum current of the alternator is also 160a, for example, the on -board system battery can be loaded, without the starter battery being unloaded at the same time.
Minimal loss of voltage thanks to the latest Shottky Diodes
The use of modern Shottky diodes also keeps the voltage loss small. It is approx. 0.3 V and the nominal current approx. 0.45 V. All models of the Victron Argo series are equipped with a compensation diode with which the output voltage of the alternator is slightly increased, so that the voltage loss through the shop To compensate for diodes. This is important because if the separation diode is connected to the cabling between the alternator and the battery without further measure, a voltage loss that leads to incomplete charge and early aging of the battery arises.
Electricity flow -regulating alternator connection
Some types of generators need a DC voltage on the B+ POL for the starting system. On the one hand, a direct cable connection is available due to the connection between the battery and the generator. On the other hand, however, the separation diode prevents the flow of electricity, so that the generator does not start. The ARGO Diode from the Model 80-2AC has a special connection for the start-up stimulation when the generator is started and ensures a smooth current flow between the generator and the battery.
