Balmar alternators or standard?

We use two Mastervolt Alpha Pro MB II regulators. They come with external temp sensors and they also send info like field current over the Masterbus network.

When you can monitor field current you can see right away if everything is working normal.

MaineSail I have read your LifePo for boats article before purchasing our lithionics 900ah and AT200’s. Would you recommend externally rectifying these Balmar’s? Is that possible with a Mark Grasser or a quicktifier? I currently have the belt manager set at 5 and we still trip the 90c threshold with the temp sensor. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated...
