Sterling Split Charge Diode
Product Description
Sterling Split Charge Diode
A versatile battery management system which allows simultaneous charging through a diode system which ensures power is evenly distributed through the boats battery banks. Most boats have at least 2 battery banks, some have 3 and these tend to be the engine start battery, the domestic battery bank (please note that if you join three or four batteries together in your domestic battery bank it is still one battery), and the bow thruster battery. Having introduced 2-3 battery banks onto your boat, the problem then is how do you charge them from one alternator source?
Sterling has developed a full range of low cost split charge diodes for 70a, 90a and 130a alternators with varying outputs, these diodes have enhanced performance over conventional diodes. By using a set of diodes on a heat sink you can ensure no back feed through the diode, thus ensuring that high currents from other battery banks do not flow up the charge lines and potentially cause a fire.
