Power Equipment

An improved low cost, (UK designed and manufactured) without any unecessary gimmicks, but high performance (microcontroller based the first of its kind) intelligent alternator charge controller sometimes called an alternator charge booster the X-ALT "Buccaneer" now in its 17th 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.

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 2012 some 20 years later more than 15300 units have been manufactured. For charging currents greater than 120A our X-Port is available with similar low loss charateristics. The X-Port is available with similar input/output configurations rated at 90A, 150A, & 200A and in some instances costs less than the equivalent X-Split.

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.

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

Due to problems with production, Alternators Alt14, Alt17 & Alt19 may not be available ex-stock. We are endeavouring to obtain units with similar specifications, please contact us for assistance.

TWO NEW ADDITIONS
The first is a 14 volt 90A. Suitable as a high output replacement for Lucas/Magneti Marelli 55A/70A A127 style alternators. The second with a similar mounting style is a 24 volt 60A unit. Both alternators are insulated return and are fitted with an 80mm diameter pulley suitable for a 12mm drive belt as standard. Further information is on our "Alternator's web page"

Available shortly a new very high output 12 volt alternator. Rated at 240A with a J180 type mounting. We hope to have full information on our Alternators web page shortly.

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, ALT19 14v @ 110A for Volvo, Alt17 14v @110A for 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.
