The Argodiode 80-2SC Battery Separator (80A) – is a highly reliable diode isolator designed for simultaneously charging two independent batteries from a single operating alternator. At the same time, galvanic isolation prevents energy flow between the batteries. This technical solution eliminates the accidental discharge of the main starter battery during intensive use of the service battery group, ensuring maximum autonomy and fault tolerance of the power supply system.
The device is based on high-grade Schottky diodes, characterized by extremely low voltage losses.
The most important advantages of the Argodiode 80-2SC diode isolator
- Parallel charging of 2 batteries from a single alternator
- Complete separation of power supply circuits – starter, domestic, and backup
- Guaranteed protection of the starter battery from being drained by additional onboard consumers
- Impressive current output: support up to 80 A (both from the charger and from the alternator)
- Minimal voltage drop due to the use of Schottky diodes (within 0.3–0.45 V)
- Integrated compensation diode – for fine correction of charge parameters
- Maximum reliable fixation of power cables using M6 screw terminals
