Alternators & charge regulators
Alternators and charge regulators: For rapidly recharged batteries
The already present alternator on the main engine is designed to charge the starter battery. As a result the combination is not ideal for fast and full charging of other batteries such as the service or bowthruster battery. Especially if you want to charge the batteries over a short time or when the batteries and onboard network require a little more power.
There are two options to solve this issue:
Equip the standard alternator with a Mastervolt Alpha Pro charge regulator. This will ensure that the existing alternator works in accordance with the 3-step charge technology instead of its standard 1-step method, and that the batteries are charged faster within a shorter period.
You can also choose a powerful second Mastervolt Alpha alternator with Alpha Pro charge regulator. This combination was specifically designed for charging service batteries, and allows you to charge quickly and turn off your engine when you moor.
