Argo Diode isolators allow for the simultaneous charging of three separate battery banks from a single alternator without interconnecting the batteries. This prevents the discharge of one bank from affecting another, such as keeping the starter battery fully charged. High-efficiency Schottky diodes ensure a very low voltage drop: 0.3V at low current and 0.45V at maximum output.
Key Features:
Compensation Diode: Includes a compensation terminal to slightly increase alternator voltage, offsetting the diode voltage drop.
Alternator ‘Energize’ (AC): Features a dedicated current-limited input that provides voltage to the alternator upon ignition, a necessity for many modern alternators to begin charging.
Reliable Isolation: Ensures batteries remain separate during discharge for maximum safety.
