Balmar Mc-618-H Voltage Regulator

Balmar Max Charge MC-618 RegulatorBalmar's MC-618 Regulator communicates with the SG200 Battery Monitor to provide information to the SG200 Color Display and Smartphone App.Now you can see how the New MC-618 Regulator is directing your onboard charging activity from either the SG200 2" Color Display and/or the optional Bluetooth Smartphone App.Basic setup functions can be accomplished from the SG200 Color Display, Smartphone App or the traditional on-regulator programming tool.Advanced Programming functions are available from the Bluetooth Smartphone App.Balmar customers have been asking for years to view regulator information from outside the engine compartment.Balmar has accomplished this goal without the need for a separate dedicated display device.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: (1) Converts AC current generated by the alternator to DC current, and (2) Fixes the voltage output to a static level -- typically 14.6 volts. There are several deficiencies with internal regulators: (1) Not all battery technologies want to receive 14.6 volts. (2) 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. (3) Once fully charged, batteries can overheat if they are supplied with continuous current at a fixed charge voltage.Balmar's patented ARS-5 Voltage Regulators provide a dynamic method for monitoring battery condition and apply the correct level of alternator control (voltage and current) to ensure that your batteries are charged quickly and safely.
