Our take on the Victron Energy Argo FET Battery Isolator

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.

Pros
  • Virtually no voltage drop, unlike diode isolators
  • 200A continuous rating covers most single-alternator setups
  • Charges two banks simultaneously without joining them
  • Compact, sealed solid-state build with no moving parts
  • Simple three-terminal wiring
Cons
  • Only works with banks of the same chemistry and similar charge profile
  • No smart charging, profiling or Bluetooth monitoring
  • Needs adequate heatsinking and correct cable sizing
  • Not a substitute for a DC-DC charger with different battery types

About the Victron Energy Argo FET Battery Isolator

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.

Questions and answers

How is this different from a diode isolator?
It uses FETs instead of diodes, so there is virtually no voltage drop between the alternator and the batteries. A diode isolator loses roughly half a volt to a volt, which slows charging.
Can it charge two different battery types?
Only if both banks use the same chemistry and a similar charge profile. It splits one charge source; it does not regulate each bank separately.
Do I need a DC-DC charger instead?
If your banks are different chemistries, such as lithium house and lead-acid start, a DC-DC charger is the better fit. The Argo FET suits matched banks.
What is in the box?
The retail version ships as the Argofet 200-2 unit for two batteries, rated 200A, SKU ARG200201020R. Cables and fuses are not included.
Does it need cooling?
It is a passive solid-state device that warms under load, so mount it where air can circulate and keep cable runs short and correctly sized.
Can I use it with a single-output battery charger?
Yes. It works with an alternator or a single-output charger to feed two banks at once.
Where is the Victron Energy Argo FET Battery Isolator cheapest?
At Voltaico, for $95.88, 20% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Victron Energy Argo FET Battery Isolator?
Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 29 ratings.
Where can I buy the Victron Energy Argo FET Battery Isolator?
13 stores we checked sell it, including Voltaico, eMarine, Blue Marine, Intelligent Controls, Marine Parts Source.
