Automatic Voltage and Temperature Compensation
Balmar Voltage Regulation Technology
High output alternators are an important part of your system for battery care, but they are definitely not the only part. Without proper voltage regulation, battery charging can be a slow process, or even worse, an ideal recipe for early battery failure. All commercial alternators come with an internal rectifier/regulator circuit that:
- Converts AC current generated by the alternator to DC current, and
- Fixes the voltage output to a static level – typically 14.6 volts.
There are several deficiencies with internal regulators:
- Not all battery technologies want to receive 14.6 volts.
- All battery types have an optimal charging “profile”, which means they want different voltages and currents at different stages of their charging cycle, as well as variations when battery temperatures change.
- Once fully charged, batteries can overheat if they are supplied with continuous current at a fixed charge voltage.
The Balmar Max Charge MC-612-DUAL is designed for use in single engine / dual alternator applications where both alternators are being used to charge the same large battery bank. The MC-612-DUAL provides two field output connectors, two power input connectors and two system ground connections, making it possible to use two standard wiring harnesses when connecting to two alternators. The MC-612-DUAL features user selectable programs for the following battery types: Deep cycle flooded, standard flooded, gel, AGM, spiral wound AGM, and LiFePO 4 batteries. The regulator also features a universal default program that’s designed for use in vessels utilizing voltage sensitive halogen equipment. When used in conjunction with optional alternator and battery temperature sensors, the MC-612-DUAL has the ability to monitor temperatures and respond by increasing or decreasing voltage output to adapt to conditions. By selecting the setting that best suits the application, the user can provide sensing at two alternators and one battery bank or one alternator and two battery banks. To take the best advantage of the MC-612-DUAL and its features, please take the time to read this manual.
