The Victron Energy ArgoDiode 160-2AC is a high-quality battery isolator that allows simultaneous charging of two batteries from a single alternator without connecting them together. It features a special alternator energize input for easy installation, especially with high-output alternators, and uses low voltage drop Schottky diodes to maximize charging efficiency. At the current price of $42.34 (compare at $84.68), this is a cost-effective solution for marine, RV, and automotive dual-battery systems. Order online today and use coupon SAVE10 for an extra 10% off, plus free shipping on orders over $45.
Built with robust components and a durable housing, designed to withstand the demands of marine and automotive environments. The Schottky diodes ensure minimal voltage loss, enhancing charging performance.
The ArgoDiode 160-2AC is rated for 160 amps, suitable for alternators up to 160A and two battery banks. It supports a wide range of battery types, including lead-acid, AGM, and gel.
Compatible with most alternators and battery types. Ideal for boats, RVs, trucks, and off-road vehicles with dual battery setups.
When choosing a battery isolator, consider the alternator amperage, number of batteries, and voltage drop. The ArgoDiode 160-2AC offers a reliable and efficient solution.
Compared to standard diode isolators, the ArgoDiode series offers lower voltage drop and an energize input. For a smaller system, the ArgoDiode 80-2SC (ASIN B08L5RRQJR) is a good alternative.
At $42.34, you save 50% off the $84.68 compare-at price. Use coupon code SAVE10 for an additional 10% off, and enjoy free shipping on orders over $45. This is a great deal on a premium battery isolator.
Schottky diodes provide low voltage drop, maximizing alternator charging efficiency and battery health at a 50% discounted price.
Alternator energize input simplifies wiring for high-output alternators, ensuring easy installation and reliable performance.

The ArgoDiode 160-2AC ensures both your starter and house batteries are charged properly from one alternator, extending battery life and preventing unexpected discharges.
Using Schottky diodes, this isolator minimizes energy loss, meaning your batteries get more of the alternator's output. Less heat, more power.
With the alternator energize input, wiring is straightforward, even with high-output alternators. A compensation diode is included for fine-tuning.

Connect the alternator B+ output to the isolator's alternator input. The energize input powers the B+ terminal when the engine run/stop switch is closed. Refer to the included manual or our online resources for detailed wiring diagrams.
The ArgoDiode 160-2AC features Schottky diodes, which have a lower forward voltage drop compared to standard diodes, typically around 0.3V at rated current, ensuring efficient charging.
Yes, it is compatible with lithium batteries, as it isolates the charging source and prevents backflow. However, ensure your alternator and charging system are suitable for lithium chemistry.
The compensation diode slightly increases the alternator output voltage to compensate for the voltage drop across the isolator diodes, ensuring batteries receive the correct charging voltage.
I installed this to isolate my starter and house batteries. It was easy to wire, and the low voltage drop means my batteries charge efficiently. No issues so far.
Good quality, as expected from Victron. It does exactly what it's supposed to. The alternator energize input works well. Just wished it came with a mounting bracket, but it's fine.
I use this in my boat. The dual output charges both batteries without draining each other. It's rugged and well-built. I have full confidence in this product.
It works fine, but the housing is large and hard to mount in tight spaces. The connections are solid, but I had to buy extra hardware to install it. Otherwise, it functions as expected.
I compared prices and this is a good deal for a quality isolator. The drop is minimal, so both batteries get a good charge. No problems after a few weeks of use.
I needed to charge my camper and truck batteries separately. This isolator did the job perfectly. Easy install, reliable, and the best part is both batteries stay charged. I'm very pleased.
