Isolating/Coupler Diodes for Boats

Isolation diodes allow for the simultaneous charging of multiple boat batteries from an alternator or a battery charger without needing to connect the individual batteries in parallel. Looking to buy isolation diodes? Explore our selection of isolation diodes for 2 batteries and 3 batteries for your boat. Discover various options to separate your onboard charging system. With us, you’ll find lossless charge distributors from VICTRON and QUICK, isolation diodes, automatic charging relays, and battery switches. Learn what you need them for and the advantages of each method.

Isolation Diodes for Boats

- Charge up to 3 batteries simultaneously -

What is important when choosing isolating diodes & charging relays?

When choosing isolating diodes/relays, always keep in mind the maximum possible charging current. For example, if your alternator has 50-70 amps output, a 70 amp isolating diode will be enough.

What are the advantages of isolators on board?

Isolators are used so that individual batteries do not need to be connected in parallel. This prevents starter batteries and batteries that supply other devices, such as the lighting or bow thruster with power from being mutually dishcarged. 

What are the advantages of isolators with integrated compensating diode?

Commercially available isolating diodes cause a voltage drop of between 0.3 and 1.2 V, depending on their design. This may not sound like much, but the result is an incomplete charging process and batteries will not be charged 100%. Our isolating diodes feature Schottky diodes with a voltage drop of 0.7 V. Using isolating diodes with integrated compensating diode reduces the voltage drop to almost 0.005 V. For these diodes a cable must be connected from D+ alternator to the diodes distributor.
