So I'm considering moving to a higher output alternator on my coach, and was looking into updating my battery isolator along with it, and I came across these:
https://www.victronenergy.com/battery-isolators-and-combiners/argo-fet-battery-isolators
Apparently, unlike most isolators (including the one I currently run) where you see around a .7 volt drop in charging current, the Victron isolators show only around a .1 volt drop. I'm by no means an electrical expert (if it can't e fixed with a hammer, you have an electrical problem) but apparently FET based isolators do not cause a drop in voltage the way a standard diode based isolator does, but will still allow constant charging unlike a switching based isolator....
Anyone running one of these or have any experience with Victron?
