Victron Energy BCD 802 80A Diode Battery Combiner – $21.35 Deal

The Victron Energy BCD 802 80-amp diode battery combiner keeps mission-critical DC equipment – like electronic engine control systems – powered even if one battery source fails. Best-fit buyers are marine, RV, and backup-power owners wiring two batteries in parallel for redundancy. Now only $21.35, down from $42.70 – buy online at PowerHaven Outpost with coupon OUTPOST12 for 12% additional savings.

Specifications

• Brand: Victron Energy
• Model: BCD 802
• Product Type: Diode battery combiner (Argo series diodes)
• Rating: 80A, 2-battery configuration
• Diodes: Schottky – low voltage drop

How to Wire for Critical DC Loads

Connect each battery's positive feed to a BCD 802 input; the common output feeds your critical DC load. If either source fails, the Schottky diodes block back-feed and the surviving source keeps the load running without interruption. Size cables for 80A continuous and fuse each battery input.

Mounting Requirements

Warning: hot surface. Mount the BCD 802 on a non-flammable surface only, with ventilation clearance for heat dissipation at high current.

Use Cases

• Redundant power for engine control electronics
• Parallel house/starter battery setups
• Backup DC supplies for navigation and safety gear

Comparisons & Alternatives

Versus relay-based combiners (Cyrix/VSR), the diode combiner has no moving parts and never fails to switch – ideal where failure is not an option. Schottky diodes minimize the voltage drop versus standard silicon diodes.
