Balmar XT-DF-170-K6-KIT Alternator Kit

XT-Series Alternator family features a state-of-the-art, braided wire stator design to generate exceptional output in the smallest possible area. The XT-Series stator achieves an industry-best 85% copper windings density, compared to 70% density for hairpin stator windings and 45% density for traditional s-wound stators. This design achievement results in a more efficient alternator which provides more power at low RPM, higher overall power and cooler operation. XT-Series mounting styles are drop-in compatible for WakeBoat and other GM gasoline engine applications. Over 60% of WakeBoat run times are at idle speed. Many high current electrical loads are engaged at idle, including ballast pumps, high-output stereo systems and multiple instrumentation loads. Standard alternators only produce about 30 A-40 A at idle speed, leaving these loads to be serviced by onboard batteries. Excessive draining causes battery sulfation and reduced lifetimes. Dealers report that AGM batteries which should last 5-7 years on these vessels are being replaced annually. The XT-Series Alternator produces over 100 A at idle speed – ample power to service all electrical loads with power left over to top-off house batteries. The XT-Series pays for itself in reduced battery replacement costs in just one year. The New XT-Series Alternator family features a state-of-the-art, braided stator wire design to generate exceptional output in the smallest possible area. The XT-Series produces slightly more power than previous AT-Series 165 A design and operates 5°C-10°C cooler. In addition, Balmar’s Smart Ready® internal regulator technology to provide an additional level of fault tolerance for cruising boaters.
