Re: Alternator regulators Balmar or Mark Grasser

Sure if you have some fancy expensive or sensitive-chemistry batt other than House,

Re: Alternator regulators Balmar or Mark Grasser

That was just one source, hundreds of posts and emails from experts I trust agree.

Different with LFP's low resistance, but lead-to-lead is basically self-regulating, any high currents are very...

Re: Alternator regulators Balmar or Mark Grasser

No the inrush current thing is a myth, ProIsoCharge are an over-engineered waste of money.

Again, put sources direct to House, keeping Starter topped, up takes very little, KISS

Re: Alternator regulators Balmar or Mark Grasser

The Cyrix VSRs have a poor rep, unusual for Victron.

Blue Seas much better.

If main sources all go direct to House, as is best, then just a little 15A Echo Charger is fine to keep Starter...

Re: Alternator regulators Balmar or Mark Grasser
