The Victron Energy ARG180301020 Argodiode 180-3AC is a high-performance battery isolator designed to charge up to three batteries simultaneously from a single alternator or charger, all while keeping them isolated to prevent cross-discharge. With a maximum current rating of 180A, it ensures efficient power distribution across multi-battery systems, making it ideal for marine, RV, and off-grid applications. This isolator uses Schottky diodes, which reduce voltage drop to approximately 0.3V at low current and 0.45V at full load, preserving charging efficiency and battery health. Additionally, the Argodiode 180-3AC includes a compensation diode to offset any voltage drop across the diodes, allowing for improved charging. Its built-in alternator energize input is compatible with alternators that require a B+ voltage to start charging, while its compact design (60 x 120 x 200 mm) and robust M8 stud connections ensure secure installation and reliable performance across demanding environments.
