Sterling 12v 160A Alternator to Battery Charger - AB12160

 Download Sterling Alternator to Battery Charger Instruction Document

The Sterling Alternator to Battery Chargers are designed to be installed in motorhome or marine charging systems where it is not possible or undesirable to dismantle the alternator or modifying the engine wiring harness.

The sterling alternator to battery charger applies a load on to the alternator which pulls down the alternator voltage.

Due to the increased load, the alternator has to work harder to compensate for the artificially high drain on the system.

However, the alternator output voltage is pulled down to an insufficient voltage for charging batteries. So the Sterling alternator to battery charger converts the high current, but low voltage, output and "amplifies" the voltage to charge the auxiliary battery bank at a higher voltage than the alternator output voltage.

In order to achieve fast and efficient battery charging, the software control program and settings for this product are the same as for the Sterling Digital battery chargers and the Digital advanced alternator regulator.

System selection. Ensure the rating of the charging system is higher than the output rating of the alternator.
