Marine Alternator Regulator
The Balmar Max Charge MC-618 marine alternator regulator is the latest generation of smart, multi-stage Balmar Max Charge voltage regulators.
Designed to provide precise voltage control for Balmar’s high-output 12-volt alternators and other externally regulated P-type alternators.
The MC-618 features user selectable programs for the following battery types: Deep cycle flooded, standard flooded, gel, AGM, spiral wound AGM, Carbon Foam and LiFePO4 batteries.
The regulator also features a universal default program that’s designed for use in vessels utilizing voltage sensitive halogen equipment.
In addition to the user selectable preset programs, the MC-618 marine alternator regulator features a wealth of advanced programming modes which make it possible to tailor charging to a wide variety of environments.
When used in conjunction with optional MC-TS-A and MC-TS-B alternator and battery temperature sensors, the MC-618 features the ability to monitor and respond to a range of ambient temperature conditions, including reduction or discontinuation of charging voltages, should a catastrophic over-temperature condition occur at the alternator or the batteries. It can also protect Lithium batteries from being charged when the temperature falls below freezing.
Being a P-Type regulator (positive) the Balmar Max Charge MC-618 alternator regulator is ideal for replacing existing P-Type alternator regulators without having to modify the alternator, making replacement as easy as possible.
