A customer oriented company designing and manufacturing products in the UK (Cambridgeshire) for the marine, public utilities and leisure industries for over 26 years. We have a team of engineers with a combined experience in excess of 37 years ready to answer your queries and suggest a suitable package for your problem. Contact us by phone, fax, e-mail (Click here for Contact Information) and send us details of your problem and / or system requirements, we may be able to provide a cost effective solution to your problem; or simply check out our comprehensive FAQ web page which may already contain the amswers and solution to your problem.

The X-Split Ultra Low Loss 'Charge Splitter' or Split Charger range has been updated with an improved performance using the latest advances in technology. The X-Split out performs all standard diode splitters even those with the latest Schottky power diodes. The X-SPLIT was the first of its kind in the world and for years the secret how it was achieved was kept behind closed doors now the technology used has now been widely copied. Now in 2010 some 18 years later more than 15000 units have been manufactured.

An improved low cost (UK designed and manufactured) but high performance microcontroller based (the first of its kind) intelligent alternator charge controller sometimes called an alternator booster the X-ALT "Buccaneer"now in its 16th year is available. The changes resulting from customers feedback and requests for additional features now provides even more intelligence and the most requested features without any increase in price so why pay a lot more for the same functionality and performance.The latest update is to over come sensing problems occuring with 'Cold Start' start sequences.

If our standard products are not what you need contact our 'Specials Department', we may be able to reconfigure a standard unit to meet your system needs. The specials can be; a modified alternator to provide dual output voltages, a capability of switching off the output drive to momentarily reduce the engine loading, a special version of the X-ALT with different output charging voltages such as our 48 volt version for use on 48 volt alternators where the original regulator has failed or a special version of the X-SPLIT with two independent charging inputs and one power output.
As more and more of our equipment is becoming software based we are able to manipulate the way the units function and as a result most of the X-CISE battery protection units sold have been modified for explicit systems. As a consequence we have been able to produce units with more than one alarm level some with delays some with instantaneous switching. Click on this link X-CISE for further information on some of the specials which have been manufactured.

Despite VAT returning to it's normal level of 17.5% we are continuing to offer help during the credit crunch; when you purchase any two items from the X-SPLIT, X-PORT, X-ALT or X-PEL ranges you will receive a 10% discount. All these products are UK designed and manufactured and offer real value for money.

We have expanded and added to our X-TRACT range of voltage converters. These converters have been designed and manufactured in Britain. The converters employ the latest switch mode technology to improve the efficiency of conversion. The range encompasses both 24 - 12 volt, 12 - 24 volt and 12 - 12 volt converters. Depending on the model some are isolated input - output and are available with various power levels.

Are you fed up with always having problems charging your batteries, achieving maximum battery charge, curse the times that the 1//2/both switch has been left in the wrong position and has discharged all your batteries or do you simply wish for a better charging system that will not cost the earth ? If the answer is YES to any of these questions then click here and go to our Frequently Asked Questions Page page, the answer to your problems may be nearer, easier and cheaper then you might expect. If your problem is not listed contact the sales office and ask for Technical Support if we can help you, it may help someone else with the same problem.


Driftgate 2000 Ltd. announce that they have been appointed authorized distributors of the Prestolite Electric/Leece Neville range of alternators.

As 48 volt systems become more and more popular we can now supply 48volt @ 90Amp alternators, see our web page alternators for further information. At the present time they are not available ex-stock but we are working on it and hopefully will be able offer a short delivery time in the near future.

If you have a Nanni, Yanmar, Volvo or Vetus M4 engine and have charging problems or would like to change your existing alternator to increase the charging capability contact us we may be able to help. We have in our range of alternators the following; ALT2 14v @ 90A for Nanni and Volvo engines, ALT14 14v @ 110A for Yanmar & Vetus M4 engines, ALT17 14v @ 110A for Volvo & Nanni engines and Alt16 (multifit) 14v @ 70A an ideal alternator to replace standard Lucas/Magneti Marelli A127 55A alternators with a higher output and at the same time retaining the same connections. These alternators can also be used on other engines where the original alternator has the same footprint or where the alternator is capable of being mechanically installed. These alternators coupled with our ultra low loss X-SPLIT provide one of the best alternator charging systems available and for even more performance add one of our X-ALT intelligent alternator charge controllers.
