Victron Argodiode 120-2AC 120A 2 Batteries Isolation Diode
Victron Argo 120-2AC Battery Isolator
The Victron Argo 120-2AC Battery Isolator is the perfect solution to enable charge distribution from one power source, such as an alternator, to two separate battery circuits. Thanks to this innovative technology, the batteries do not need to be connected to each other, which significantly simplifies installation and reduces installation costs.

- Maximum Charging Current: 120A
- Suitable for 2 separate batteries or battery banks
- Minimum Voltage Drop: approx. 0.3 V at low currents, approx. 0.45 V at nominal current
- Equipped with modern Shottky Diodes for minimal losses
- Current-Limiting Connection for Generator Start-Up Excitation
The Argo 120-2AC ensures that the service battery can be loaded without simultaneously discharging the starter battery. By using Shottky diodes, the voltage drop is kept low. All models of the Victron Argo series are also equipped with a compensation diode that slightly increases the output voltage of the alternator to compensate for the voltage drop. This is particularly important to ensure a full charge of the batteries and to extend their lifespan.
Current-Regulating Alternator Connection
Some generators require a DC voltage at the B+ terminal for start-up excitation. The Argo 120-2AC offers a special connection that ensures smooth current flow between the generator and the battery. This prevents the generator from not starting due to current feedback.
