Victron 100A Battery Isolator Argodiode 100-3AC: High-Efficiency Schottky Diode Battery Isolator for Dual and Multi-Bank Charging

Reliable Simultaneous Charging Without Battery Interconnection

The Victron 100A Battery Isolator Argodiode 100-3AC is a robust diode battery isolator engineered to enable simultaneous charging of 3 separate battery banks from a single alternator, without electrically connecting the batteries together. This ensures that discharging an accessory or auxiliary battery—such as a house bank in a caravan, boat, or 4WD—will not drain the starter battery, preserving engine start capability and reducing the risk of being stranded. Unlike generic split-charge relays or basic isolators, this Victron unit uses advanced Schottky diode technology to minimise voltage drop, delivering more efficient charging and longer battery life.

Designed for 12V and 24V DC systems, this isolator is ideal for marine, automotive, and off-grid applications where reliable multi-battery management is critical. Its low forward voltage drop—approximately 0.3 V at low current and 0.45 V at rated output—reduces energy loss and heat generation, ensuring more of the alternator’s output reaches your batteries. This is a significant advantage over conventional silicon diode isolators, which can drop 0.7 V or more, leading to chronic undercharging and premature battery failure.

Advanced Schottky Diode Technology for Superior Performance

At the core of the Victron 100A Battery Isolator Argodiode 100-3AC are high-efficiency Schottky diodes, which provide a lower forward voltage drop compared to standard PN-junction diodes. This means less power is wasted as heat, and the alternator can operate closer to its intended voltage setpoint. The integrated voltage compensation diode allows you to fine-tune the alternator’s output voltage to offset the small remaining drop, ensuring batteries reach a full state of charge. This feature is especially valuable in systems where battery longevity and performance are paramount, such as in deep-cycle AGM or lithium battery setups.

Additionally, the Victron 100A Battery Isolator Argodiode 100-3AC includes a current-limited alternator energize input which is essential for modern alternators that require a DC voltage on the B+ terminal to initiate charging. Without this input, a diode isolator would block the return voltage, preventing the alternator from starting. The energize circuit provides a safe, controlled current to the B+ terminal when the engine run/stop switch is closed, ensuring reliable alternator activation.

Built for Demanding Environments

Victron’s Argo Diode isolators are constructed with a durable anodised aluminium heat sink that efficiently dissipates heat, allowing continuous operation at high currents without thermal throttling. The compact footprint—60 x 120 x 115 mm (2.4 x 4.7 x 4.5 inches)—and light weight of 0.8 kg (1.8 lbs) make installation straightforward in tight engine bays or electrical compartments. Heavy-duty M6 Studs stud terminals ensure secure, low-resistance connections for high-current cables, while the 6.3 mm Faston connectors for compensation and energize simplify wiring.

All models are rated for mounting on non-flammable surfaces and are tested to withstand the vibration, temperature extremes, and salt-laden air common in marine and automotive environments. This rugged design reduces the risk of premature failure and electrical faults that can occur with lesser-quality isolators.

Key Features

  • Simultaneous charging of 3 battery banks from one alternator without interconnection
  • Low voltage drop Schottky diodes: ~0.3 V at low current, ~0.45 V at rated output
  • Integrated voltage compensation diode to optimise alternator output
  • Current-limited alternator energize input for modern alternators
  • Heavy-duty M6 Studs stud terminals for secure high-current connections
  • Compact, lightweight aluminium heat sink for efficient cooling
  • Suitable for 12V and 24V DC systems
  • Robust construction for marine, automotive, and off-grid use

Applications

The Victron 100A Battery Isolator Argodiode 100-3AC is an excellent choice for a wide range of dual-battery and multi-battery systems, including:

  • Marine vessels: separate starter and house battery banks
  • Caravans and motorhomes: charging auxiliary batteries while driving
  • 4WD and off-road vehicles: powering winches, fridges, and camping accessories
  • Commercial vehicles: maintaining separate battery systems for equipment
  • Off-grid solar systems: combining multiple charge sources without back-feed

Installation Considerations

When installing a diode battery isolator, it is important to account for the slight voltage drop across the diodes. The integrated compensation diode can be used to adjust the alternator’s voltage regulator, but in some systems, additional wiring modifications may be required. For optimal battery health and charging performance, consult the Victron ‘Energy Unlimited’ book or seek advice from a qualified auto electrician or marine installer. Proper cable sizing and termination are critical to minimise additional voltage losses and ensure safe, reliable operation.

Upgrade your battery management system with the Victron 100A Battery Isolator Argodiode 100-3AC and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with Victron’s proven reliability and engineering excellence. Whether you’re outfitting a bluewater cruiser, a remote-area tourer, or a commercial fleet vehicle, this isolator delivers the performance and durability you need to keep all your batteries charged and ready.

he Durable, Natural Chew That Finally Gives Peace of Mind
Size: Large
Why It's a Top-Tier Chew: Truly Safe Ingredients (Plant-Powered): This is the biggest selling point. The HonestChew is made from food-grade, plant-based cellulose, vegetable oil, and real antler bone powder—no nylon, no petroleum, and no plastic. This means I can finally relax when my dog is relentlessly gnawing, knowing the ingredients are safe. Engineered for Safety AND Toughness: The material is specifically designed to flake rather than splinter like hard bones or crack like many synthetic chews. This makes it a much safer choice for dental health and digestive safety, even for the most aggressive chompers. It has the feel of a hard chew but with a safer breakdown. Irresistible to Dogs: The chew is infused with real antler powder, giving it a natural, gnaw-worthy scent and flavor that keeps my dog engaged for long periods. The curved, ergonomic Infinity shape is excellent for dogs to grip securely with their paws, promoting a comfortable chewing posture. Dental Support: The nubs and ridges on the surface aren't just for looks; they provide a gentle scraping action that helps scrub away plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and above the gumline while the dog is happily playing. Who Needs This? If you have a dog that quickly destroys "indestructible" toys, swallows rawhide too fast, or causes you stress with the risk of bone splintering, the WOOF HonestChew Infinity is the perfect solution. It stands up to serious chewing and satisfies that innate gnawing instinct with confidence. A highly recommended, long-lasting, and thoughtfully designed product that puts pet health first.

Great toy for super chewers!!
Size: Large
My dog is a super chewer and he enjoys these so much. I do too cause I feel like my money is actually getting spent well than on a plush toy he’ll destroy in two seconds. Definitely recommend these all the time for anyone who has that same issue with their pets. Very durable and perfect size for my big pit.
