Balmar 96-Series 48V 100A Alternator – High-Output Charging for Marine, RV, Solar, and Off-Grid Lithium Systems
Power your demanding 48V systems with the Balmar 96-Series 48V 100A Alternator (Model: 96-48-100-K8), a mid-duty cycle, large-frame alternator engineered for superior performance in marine, RV, solar, and off-grid applications. Delivering 100A (4.8kW) charging power at 48V with industry-leading low turn-on thresholds (2,200 RPM) and low idle power take-off, this alternator maximizes output at low RPMs, reducing fuel consumption and engine strain. Designed for external regulation with the Balmar MC-620 regulator, it ensures precise multi-stage charging for lithium, AGM, or flooded batteries, providing up to 10x faster charging than standard alternators. Its robust construction and high airflow frame make it ideal for high-demand setups like DC air conditioning, cooking, or inverter systems. Key Features:
- High-Output Performance: 100A at 48V (4.8kW) for rapid charging of large lithium banks, supporting high loads without derating.
- Low RPM Efficiency: Turns on at just 2,200 RPM with minimal idle power draw, enabling full output at low engine speeds for fuel savings and quieter operation.
- External Regulation Ready: Pairs seamlessly with Balmar MC-620 multi-stage regulator for optimized charging profiles, temperature compensation, and lithium battery protection (disables below 32°F/0°C).
- Durable Construction: Large-frame design with dual fan cooling, high airflow frame, and isolated ground for reliability in harsh marine environments.
- Versatile Compatibility: Ideal for 48V lithium battery systems, inverters, and high-power appliances; supports J-180 dual foot 4" mount and K8 pulley for easy installation.
- Safe & Certified: Built with high-reliability bearings, robust diodes, and improved heat sinking; meets USCG Title 33, ISO 8846, SAE J1171 standards for marine safety.
