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.

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 charge 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.

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

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 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 charge controllers.
