Balmar 6-Series Light Duty Single Foot Marine Alternator

Balmar Alternators are designed for recreational marine applications and are engineered to replace most OEM alternators on a wide variety of marine gasoline and diesel engines. These alternators deliver high-output performance in a compact, small-case package and are available in common mounting configurations.

Features:

• Designed for recreational marine applications
• Ideal for modest charging upgrades
• Dual fan cooling
• Single foot mount
• High airflow frame
• Maximum RPM: 12,000
• Recommended for use with Balmar multi-stage voltage regulators (Sold with alternators in kits or separately)
• Engineered to replace most OEM alternators on a wide variety of marine gasoline and diesel engines
• Utilizes Balmar's patented Smart Ready® Technology
  • Internal Regulation is a feature unique to the 6-Series alternator
  • Enables the alternator to be used with smart Balmar external regulation, or as a stand-alone, internally regulated alternator system
  • Fixed, 14.1-volt charge controller is ideal as a built-in back-up regulator for the cruiser, or as a full-time regulator for systems where smart, multi-stage regulation is not required
  • If battery loads are relatively small and your engine is running frequently, the alternator's internal regulator may be sufficient to support your electrical needs without external regulation
  • If your vessel utilizes larger deep-cycle battery banks or the engine's duty cycle is less frequent (as is the case in most sailing applications), the 6-Series Alternator combines and works seamlessly with Balmar's ARS-5Vage Regulator or Max Charge Voltage Regulator
• USCG Title 33, ISO, SAE and CE Compliant

Pulley Designations:

• "SV" = 1/2" Single Pulley
• "DV" = 1/2" Dual Vee
• "K6" = K-6 Serpentine
• "J10" = J-10 AltMount® Serpentine

The selection process includes the following steps:

• Step 1: Determine your vessel's electrical load
• Step 2: Identify your existing battery bank technology and capacity
• Step 3: Select your optimum alternator output
• Step 4: Identify the alternator mounting style present on your engine
• Step 5: Determine your belt and pulley requirements
• Step 6: Select additional charging system options

Note: Balmar's 1/2" Deep Vee Pulleys (single and dual) can accept a 3/8" and 7/16" belts.
