Driftgate 2000 X-Split replacement

[Teddy]

Can anybody suggest a suitable replacement for my X-Split fitted to my Broom 39 (110A alternators)?

I understand that Driftgate have long since gone form the scene and wonder if anyone might have come across something similar.

I had a Driftgate but replaced it with one of these Cyrix automatic change over relays a couple of years ago - works great and no losses. Bought mine from Barden in Fareham but looks as if might be cheaper from Amazon.

A Victron Argofet will be a good replacement, the wiring should be pretty much identical.

Paul, many thanks for the info.

Just a thought, as I have an Adverc battery management system fitted, do I really need the expense of mossfets over the cheaper diodes? The Adverc will control the alternators to overcome the diode voltage drop.

If you're happy that you won't suffer any voltage drop, an Olde Worlde diode will be fine.
