Product Description

Balmar ARS-5 Regulator 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. During engine operation, Balmar regulators progress through the following stages to ensure proper battery charging: Stage 1: Start Delay: After engine startup, the regulator waits for several seconds before applying field current to the alternator. This allows the engine and belts an opportunity to warm up before the alternator load is applied. Stage 2: Soft Ramp: The regulator slowly increases field excitation of the alternator to reduce belt stress. Stage 3: Bulk Charging: The regulator increases field output to the maximum safe level, allowing the alternator to reach maximum amperage output based on the target limits of the battery type being charged. Target voltage ranges from 14.1V to 14.6V depending on the battery type selected (24V bulk charging voltages range from 28.2V to 29.2V).

Features & Benefits

  • User-Selectable Preset Battery Programs: Balmar provides multiple charge profiles to ensure optimal charging, Simply select the battery program that matches your battery technology
  • Advanced Programming Modes. Balmar multi-stage regulators feature a broad range of advanced regulator adjustments
  • Alternator and Battery Temperature Sensing and Control. Balmar multi-stage regulators have the ability to automatically correct charging output
  • Belt Load Management. Balmar multi-stage regulators can protect the engine and belt by enabling the user to de-rate the alternator's output in small increments by adjusting the Belt Load Manager
  • If battery temperatures exceed safe operating levels, ARS-5 Voltage Regulators will automatically reduce charging outputs to avoid dangerous thermal runaway conditions
