DISCRIPTION
DISCRIPTION
🔌 Diode Battery Isolators
-
Function: Allow multiple batteries to be charged from a single source without connecting them directly.
-
Technology: Use diodes to prevent backflow of current.
-
Voltage Drop: Typically 0.6–0.7V per diode (due to forward voltage drop), which can significantly reduce charging efficiency.
-
Heat Generation: High, especially at high currents.
-
Efficiency: Lower, due to the voltage loss.
-
Cost: Usually cheaper than FET-based isolators.
⚡ FET Battery Isolators (MOSFET-based)
-
Function: Same—charge multiple batteries independently.
-
Technology: Use MOSFETs instead of diodes, allowing for lower resistance and higher efficiency.
-
Voltage Drop: As low as 0.02V at low currents, averaging around 0.1V even under heavy load.
-
Heat Generation: Minimal due to low voltage drop.
-
Efficiency: Much higher, nearly equivalent to direct connection.
-
Cost: Higher than diode-based solutions, but pays off with efficiency and longevity.
Key Advantage of FET Isolators:
-
Better suited for modern alternators and smart charging systems, which are sensitive to voltage drops.
-
Ideal when maximizing charging performance is critical, such as in marine, RV, or solar battery setups
