Modern marine electrical systems put greater demands on charging systems than ever before. Larger battery banks, new battery technologies, & more powerful inverters all place an extraordinary load on your alternator -- making it more important than ever to provide optimal charge control.

"Smart" Multi-Stage Regulators
Our most advanced charge controllers to date! 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 an all-new 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. Max Charge MC-624 and MC-632 regulators provide the same advanced charge regulation for 24-volt and 32-volt charging systems.

Use the ARS-5 right out of the box, or tailor this multi-step regulator to guide your Deep Cycle FLA, Optima, Gel or AGM batteries through bulk, absorption and float modes. Easy-to-read LED’s indicate program mode, battery type and provide for self-diagnostics. Connections for warning light/alarm and electrical tachometer are standard. Temperature sensing at alternator (only), with optional Alternator Temperature Sensor (MC-TS-A) installed.
NEW FEATURE - Belt Load Manager - Matches
alternator load to belt capacity.

Optional Alternator Temperature Sensor (MC-TS-A) and Battery Temperature Sensor (MC-TS-B) enable your multi-stage Max Charge or ARS-4 regulator to automatically monitor your charging system and make changes to protect your system from over-temperature conditions. Battery Temperature Sensors (available for use on Max Charge regulators only) automatically compensate for under-temp conditions as well -- adjusting voltage to help initiate efficient charging when batteries are below optimal working temperatures.

MC-TS-A - $44.95
MC-TS-B - $54.95

Single-Stage Regulators

The BRS-2 Regulator offers simple, single-stage regulation that’s easy to install and easy to use. Factory-set 13.7VDC can be adjusted for a range of battery types. Includes inputs for “idiot” light and electrical tachometer connection. The BRS-2-24 is available for single stage, 24VDC regulation.
 List Pricing: (see note)
BRS-2 - $199.95
BRS-2-H (with harness) - $219.95
BRS-2-24 - $239.95
BRS-2-24-H (with harness) - $259.95 

The economy ERS regulator provides a non-adjustable 14.1-volt field to the alternator, making it an ideal, inexpensive back-up charge controller for most battery types. Its built-in wiring and small size allow convenient storage in your toolbox or "spares" locker. Built-in mounting tabs allow the ERS to be connected directly to the back of the alternator. The ERS-P is included with BALMAR Series 81 and 812 alternators.

NEW - ERS-B - Plugs into Balmar Harness

ERS-P Economy Regulator - Series 81 & 812 $79.95
ERS-B - Plugs into Balmar Harness - $79.95
