Discharging one bank, such as a domestic service battery, can never flatten the other, so the engine start battery is always protected and ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsolation is achieved with Schottky diodes, giving a low forward voltage drop of roughly 0.3 V at light load and about 0.45 V at the rated output. A fitted compensation diode lets you nudge the alternator output voltage up slightly to offset this drop, and an alternator energize input supplies B+ when the engine run switch is closed so machine-sensing alternators start charging reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe isolator adjusts automatically to 12 V or 24 V systems and requires no control wiring or maintenance. Heavy-duty M8 stud connections and a compact steel enclosure suit marine, motorhome and off-grid installations where two banks must share one high-output charge source.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56272655450452,"sku":"ARG160201020","price":104.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9702\/3060\/files\/victron-15553409253716.jpg?v=1783006641","url":"https:\/\/hme.sprechen.dev\/products\/argo-battery-isolating-diode-splitter-160a-2-outputs","provider":"Hudson Marine Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
