By using diode-based OR-ing, the primary charging source—such as an alternator, solar controller, or shore power—feeds both banks when present, while each bank remains isolated when charging is inactive, preventing cross-conduction and accidental discharge. The 40A model suits smaller auxiliary banks, while the 80A model handles higher charging currents common in larger boats and RVs. Designed for 12V and 24V systems, Argo units thread into standard battery interconnects and integrate easily with Victron controllers, battery monitors, and protection devices for a cohesive energy management solution. No external relays required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration delivers practical, technical reliability: you get automatic, safe two-bank charging, reduced wiring complexity, and compatibility with a wide range of Victron energy management tools. It’s a natural fit for users who want dependable dual-battery operation without complicated switching or extra hardware, helping maintain battery health and readiness wherever you install your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Victron","offers":[{"title":"BCD 402 2 batteries 40A (combiner diode)","offer_id":51953245749567,"sku":"BCD000402000","price":36.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BCD 802 2 batteries 80A (combiner diode)","offer_id":51953245782335,"sku":"BCD000802000","price":45.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/4970\/5023\/files\/BCD-802-Diode-Battery-Combiner-2-batteries-80A_front.jpg?v=1769720933","url":"https:\/\/ogm-energy.com\/products\/victron-argo-diode-battery-combiners-40a-80a","provider":"Off Grid and Marine Energy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
