Regulate your alternator output with the MXS Booster Regulator

MXS –ALTERNATOR BOOSTER REGULATOR

Calcium, deep cycle auxiliary batteries used in the 4x4 industry require higher voltages (14.4V)than normal alternators put out. Also, when the 4x4 is travelling at slow speeds, or when the draw from the auxiliary batteries is close to exceeding charge input, that you need to boost alternator output by stepping up the voltage. The MXS can increase alternator output by up to 35% on such applications.

Higher alternator current output demand at lower RPM is becoming increasingly common requirement.  This is best solved by a special booster regulator. 

The MXS booster alternator regulator offers this and many other facilities, e.g.:    In many vehicles, high power is attemptedly drawn from the 12V (or 24V) system, especially when the vehicle is being driven at a low speed.  Typical examples: The current drawn from the battery in such cases can be as high as 150A, whilst the alternator is only producing about 50A - due to the low rotational speed of the alternator.  The battery will support the load only until such time as the stored energy runs out.

WHY 3 STAGE CHARGING?

The MXS Booster alternator regulator delivers an increase in available energy which often goes hand-in-hand with charging batteries more frequently and more intensively. This cuts down on charging time by between 20-30% - depending upon the application.

THE DISTINCTION:  Practically all 12V or 24V alternators that are supplied with a propulsion engine by the manufacturer, are intended for charging starter batteries. The maximum charging current is often limited to 50 / 60A whilst the voltage has been adjusted to a ‘float’ charging voltage.  This is a good point of departure for the starter battery, but not effective for charging auxiliary batteries. Due to the cycling conditions of the auxiliary battery, the best way to recharge the battery sufficiently in a short period of time is to offer increased charge voltage and to thus allow the battery to overcome internal resistance and this is the primary function of the MXS alternator booster regulator.

OTHER DEMANDS The comparison on the following page shows the difference between normal application of the alternator and a typical 4 X 4 or leisure application.
