Intelligent alternator regulator with precise charging control and CAN integration

This advanced alternator regulator provides accurate, configurable charging management for 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V electrical systems. It dynamically controls alternator output based on voltage, current, and temperature, allowing fine alignment with battery manufacturer recommendations. With selectable alternator polarity, preset battery profiles, CAN integration, temperature sensing, USB configurability, and application-based tuning, it delivers flexible, safe, and efficient charging for modern battery banks in marine, vehicle, and off-grid installations.

Key Features

  • Automatic system voltage detection: Supports 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V systems with fully customisable operating range up to 48/52 V.
  • Selectable alternator polarity: Compatible with both P-type and N-type alternators using the appropriate wiring harness.
  • Three-parameter charge regulation: Controls alternator output using voltage, current, and temperature targets to achieve accurate, safe battery charging.
  • Integrated sensing inputs: Uses voltage sense wiring, calibrated shunt input, alternator temperature sensor, and battery temperature data for adaptive charge response.
  • Preset and configurable charge profiles: Includes eight selectable battery programs and flexible profile criteria based on system voltage, acceptance current, temperatures, and time.
  • Extended temperature charging support: Dynamically limits charging to protect batteries and alternators when operating outside normal temperature ranges.
  • USB configuration access: Offers expert-level adjustments and regulator setup through USB-based configuration tools.
  • Application-based setup and monitoring: Enables configuration, tuning, diagnostics, and operational visibility through the Wakespeed application.
  • CAN-based system integration: Supports J1939-based CAN networking for monitoring, display interfacing, and system-wide communication.
  • BMS communication compatibility: Interfaces with multiple CAN and proprietary BMS protocols for coordinated charge control and data exchange.
  • Thermal protection architecture: Features alternator temperature sensing, battery temperature monitoring, and internal regulator thermal protection for safe operation.
  • Rugged harness and connectors: Includes colour-coded tinned wiring with expandable sleeving, Ampseal 23-pin connector, and ruggedised RJ45 CAN connection.
  • USB firmware upgrades: Supports controller firmware updates through the integrated USB port.
  • LED status indication: Provides charge status and fault feedback directly from the regulator.

Purpose-built to deliver reliable alternator control, configurable charging precision, and advanced system integration, this regulator supports high-performance battery systems with confidence.
