Victron Energy Argo Diode Battery Combiner 80A - BCD802
Power Your Essentials without Interruption
The Victron Energy Argo Diode Battery Combiner 80A (BCD802) is your solution for ensuring continuous DC power to vital equipment in your campervan, caravan, motorhome, or boat. This 80-amp combiner allows you to parallel two or more DC power sources, like batteries, to supply critical loads like your refrigerator or engine control system. Even if one battery fails or becomes discharged, the Argo Combiner's built-in diode prevents current from flowing back to the faulty unit. This protects your healthy battery and guarantees uninterrupted power to your essential systems.
Maximized Efficiency with Low Voltage Drop
The BCD802 utilizes Schottky diodes, resulting in a significantly lower voltage drop compared to traditional diode combiners. This means minimal loss of voltage between your batteries and the critical load, maximizing the efficiency of your power system. At low current draw, the voltage drop is around 0.3V, and at the rated 80A output, it's approximately 0.45V.
Safety First: Proper Mounting is Crucial
The Argo Combiner BCD802 can get hot during operation. Always mount it on a non-flammable surface to ensure safety.
