12V Multi-Stage Alternator Regulator with Wiring Harness for Marine Charging Systems
Provides advanced multi-stage charging control for 12 V marine alternator systems, managing alternator output to suit a range of onboard battery technologies. Nine selectable charging programs support flooded, AGM, gel, carbon foam and LiFePO4 battery configurations, while advanced programming enables charging parameters to be customised for specific battery requirements. Integration with the SG200 monitoring system enables charging information and basic setup functions to be accessed through a compatible colour display or optional Bluetooth smartphone interface. Alternator and battery temperature sensing support active charging protection, while Belt Load Manager functionality allows alternator output to be reduced where engine or drive-belt loading needs to be controlled. The included 54-inch wiring harness provides the primary connections required for compatible 12 V alternator installations.
