The Victron Argo FET is a solid-state battery isolator that lets one alternator or single-output charger charge two battery banks at once without tying them together. Unlike diode isolators, its FET design has virtually no voltage drop, so the batteries see close to the full charging voltage. The 200A rating suits a single alternator feeding a start battery and a house bank on a boat, camper or overland vehicle. It is a fit-and-forget component rather than a gadget: buyers choose it for the low loss and Victron's reputation, and it is a simpler, cheaper route than a DC-DC charger when both banks are the same chemistry.

The Victron Energy Argo FET Battery Isolator charges two batteries at the same time from one alternator or a single-output battery charger. It does this without connecting the batteries to each other. It is rated for 200A.
Like a diode isolator, it keeps the batteries separate while both charge.
