ARCO Alternators and Balmar XT / AT Series Alternators are both renowned for their high-energy output. These alternators are typically used in medium to high DC consumption systems. These alternators are designed to deliver high DC output to meet the increasing demands of modern marine electrical systems, which include taking the place of the boat’s generator and providing enough power for air-conditioning systems, water makers, electric cooking, and more. Built with durability and reliability in mind, they are constructed to withstand harsh marine environments, featuring materials that resist corrosion and wear. Efficiency is another hallmark, as these alternators maximize the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is crucial for the effective operation of marine systems.

Incorporating ARCO Zeus smart regulators with advanced charging capabilities and customization will ensure increased alternator output.  This regulator can monitor both the current and temperature of the alternator and battery. Additionally, you can limit the alternator’s current and the maximum charging current your lithium battery bank can receive and prevent overcharging. 

Both ARCO Zeus and XT / AT Series alternators provide reliable power for onboard DC systems and are suitable for charging large lithium battery banks.
