Thanks to the use of Schottky diodes, the voltage drop of the Argo battery isolators is very low: only 0.3V at low current and 0.45V at maximum current. All models are equipped with a compensation diode that can be used to slightly increase the alternator voltage. This compensates for the voltage drop across the charging current distribution diodes. Alternator 'Energize' connection: Some alternators only start charging if there is voltage on the B+ connection. When the alternator is connected directly to a battery, there will be voltage on the B+ connection. However, a diode or FET battery isolator isolates the batteries from the alternator so it won't start. The new 'AC' diode battery isolators have a separate, current-limited 'Energize' connection that allows voltage to be applied to the B+ connection when the ignition is turned to the ignition position.
