Regulators

Modern marine electrical systems put greater demands on charging systems than ever before. Larger battery banks, new battery technologies, and more powerful inverters all place an extraordinary load on your alternator -- making it more important than ever to provide optimal charge control. Because of this, we only recommend the Max Charge regulator shown below. Other types and manufacturers are available, but in following with our design standards, we will only sell the 600 model series regulators with our alternator & bracket packages.


"Smart" Multi-Stage Regulators

The Max Charge MC-612 automatically monitors battery conditions and uses up to a dozen individual time and voltage values to optimize battery charging. Enhanced by a 3-digit numeric display, the digital MC-612 makes it easier than ever to monitor a wealth of operational, programming and self-diagnostic info. Selectable programs for six battery types, as well as user programmability make the Max Charge as simple or as precise as you choose. The Max Charge also provides manual equalization, amp manager, automatic conditioning and exercise programs to maintain battery health. The Max Charge monitors and compensates for alternator and battery temperatures when equipped with optional temperature sensors. Dual battery temperature sensor inputs allow monitoring of two batteries.

The MC-624 provides the same advanced charge regulation for 24-volt charging systems.
