Victron Energy Battery Isolator Argo 180-3AC 180A 12/24V

The Ultraflex Argo 180-3AC 180A battery isolator is a specialized device designed for managing charging and separation of three independent batteries in electrical installations, mainly for marine applications, camper vans, specialized vehicles, and emergency power systems. Its main function is to enable simultaneous charging of multiple batteries from a single source (e.g., alternator or charger), while preventing current flow between batteries, protecting them from mutual discharge. The device uses diode technology, ensuring reliable separation and minimizing voltage drops. The isolator is typically installed near the batteries or alternator, and its compact, robust housing allows installation in harsh environmental conditions typical for boats or off-road vehicles. The product is intended for users requiring high reliability and power supply safety, especially where maintaining energy reserve in starter and service batteries is critical. The Ultraflex Argo 180-3AC 180A isolator complies with modern electrical installation standards and can work with various battery types, including AGM, gel, and lead-acid batteries.
