Victron Argodiode 80-2AC Dual Battery Charger 80A

The Victron Energy ARG080201000R diode battery isolator allows for the effective charging of multiple batteries using a single alternator. By utilizing advanced technology, it ensures that your accessory batteries can be discharged without affecting starter batteries, optimizing the lifespan and performance of your battery systems. This feature-rich device is a great solution for managing battery charging with minimal voltage drop, making it ideal for automotive, marine, and off-grid power setups.

Product Features

Advanced Schottky Diode Technology

Incorporating Schottky diodes, the Victron Energy ARG080201000R maintains a low voltage drop€”approximately 0.3V at low currents and around 0.45V at rated outputs€”enhancing overall battery efficiency.

Compensation Diode Functionality

This feature includes a compensation diode that slightly boosts alternator output voltage, compensating for the voltage drop over the isolator's diodes and ensuring batteries charge fully.

Purposeful Design for Protecting Starter Battery

This isolator is designed to prevent discharge of the starter battery even if other batteries in the system are depleted, offering added safety and reliability.

Alternator Energize Input

Some models include a special energize input to kick-start alternators that require voltage on the B+ output, enhancing usability for specific setups.

Robust Connection System

Featuring M6 studs and Faston connectors, the device offers a secure and simple installation process, accommodating a variety of configurations effectively.

How It Works

Victron Argodiode works by isolating multiple batteries to enable independent charging from one alternator. This advanced setup prevents backflow that could hinder energy efficiency, ensuring optimal battery performance for both technical and non-technical users.

Customer Success Stories

Troy P

EG4 off-grid base kit, Happy with my purchase.

This is the first stage of my three planned purches. I got the eg4 inverter 6000 XP base kit with six 400 watt panels and the two server rack batteries. Did a little online research and followed the instructions and it got set up without any issues. Right now I'm just running it in my garage on a single outlet and have been running dual 750 watt water distillers with it. Once I get the second inverter and a bunch more panels and batteries, I plan on attaching it to my subpanel in my house that has my lights and outlets and appliances on it. Then I'll get a soft start for my AC and blower and run it on my main panel.

Jacob B

Easy Process, Genuine Support

Trying to pick the correct solar system for your needs can be very technical and frustrating. I wanted to thank Yvhan and the Portlandia Electric supply team for their patience and helpful attitudes through multiple calls. I feel like we were able to narrow it down to what worked for me and my family. My system works great and I couldn't be happier to have picked Portlandia Electric Supply.

Patrick B

Off Grid Solar Purchase

I wanted to get an offgrid solar system for years but didn’t know where to start. I found Portlandia Electric Supply on Facebook and decided to submit a quote. Within 24 hours I had a custom proposal that was almost half the price of the companies I had previously got quotes from. My wife and I decided to order online and the kit came in a timely manner and it was an easy install. Great company to work with!

James Martin

Highly Recommend

I would like to take the time to express the outstanding service that I was provided with by Portlandia Electric Supply. They provided me with all the answers to my questions, and after reviewing our quote over the phone I felt comfortable proceeding to order my kit. It’s exactly what I needed and they were there to help us over the phone when we had questions installing it. I highly recommend others in need to choose Portlandia Electric Supply.

Solar Kit for Mobile Work Van

As a professional videographer, I needed reliable power on the go.Portlandia Electric Supply Delta Pro and roof-mounted panels were the perfect solution. Setup was easy, and the kit included everything needed. The Delta Pro powers my cameras, lights, laptop, and a small fridge with impressive battery capacity.

Keith S

Best Tech Support

You folks have been wonderful guiding me through the ins and outs of going solar. Plus your tech guys Rod and Nelson are the absolute best. They explained all the different aspects of inverters, batteries and how to keep them in top condition. Too much more to put here… but no other company has the 100% tech support you provide for your customers!

Coll A

Great Experience

My experience with Portlandia Electric Supply has been excellent. Before the sales, they answered all my questions to assure that I got what I needed. After the sales they continued to support me with answers and help. I had a warranty issue with a unit, and it was handled as well as possible. I would recommend them to anyone looking to go solar.
