Designed and built in the UK the X-ALT alternator charge controllers use a powerful micro controller to provide effective charge and battery management control. The "X-ALT" is available in three forms: the "BUCCANEER" single battery sensing with incremental soft start. The mid range "SKIPPER" with either three battery bank sensing or two battery bank sensing plus single point battery temperature compensation control. The top of the range "CAPTAIN" with three battery bank sensing, dual alternator control, single point battery temperature compensation control plus optional dual alternator over temperature protection. The "SKIPPER" and "CAPTAIN" have the "UNIQUE INTELLIGENT CHARGE CALCULATOR" which selects the optimum charge routine depending on the charge state of the batteries. The X-ALT alternator charge controllers can be configured to work with a wide variety of standard stand-alone alternators and will enhance their charging performance. The "X-ALT" has now sold over 3700 units world wide. When used with one of our low loss charge splitters; either (to view click on blue hyper link) the "X-SPLIT" or the new "X-PORT" range, the two units form a combination which provides what is probably the most efficient battery management control system available anywhere in the world. If you require a more sophisticated battery management controller with more enhancements please click on the blue hyper link to view data on our "GENIE" range of alternator charge controllers.
Unique soft start
to boost/bulk charge. Boost power is initialized using a slow increasing
charge ramp which reduces the high belt wear caused by the sudden increase
in power requirement when switching from float to boost/bulk set point.
Discharged
battery boost/bulk inhibit delay allowing engine to stabilize after inlaid
start.
Low cost but high in performance, the ideal
solution to simple battery bank configurations.
Calculated
multi-stage cyclic charge routine instead of a continuous high charge routine
thus providing a rest period for batteries and alternator during boost/bulk
charge period.
3 year Return
To Factory warranty.
Easy to install
on most types of alternators (see installation/alternators pages).
24 volt version
available.
Lead Acid or
Gel & AGM battery user selectable as standard.
Virtual 3 stage
charge control routine including an equalization stage at the end of the
boost/bulk charge routine.
Incorporates
alternator high/low output voltage, large differential between charging
voltage (alternator output) & battery voltage, high battery charge
voltage and battery sense disconnect alarm for safety shutdown.
Provides visual
indication via multi-coloured led display as to mode of operation (ie.
Boost, Float and/or Alarm).
Single unit
can be configured for both positive and negative control requiring no circuit
reconfiguration other than external user wiring.
Special 48
volt version available.
Our unique slow
start ramp which reduces the high belt wear caused by the sudden increase
in power requirement when switching from float to boost.
Monitoring
and control of up to 3 separate battery banks.
Utilizing an
intelligent charge routine based on the initial charge state of the batteries.
Low cost.
Multi-stage
cyclic charge routine instead of a bang-bang routine thus providing a rest
period for batteries and alternator during boost charge period.
3 year Return
To Factory warranty.
24 volt versions
available.
Plug-in 2 metre
loom.
Gel & AGM
battery user selectable as standard.
Provides visual
indication via multi-led display as to mode of operation. Boost, Float
and/or Alarm indication and selected indication of master battery when
in boost mode.
Incorporates
alternator high/low output, large differential between master battery &
charging voltage (alternator output), high battery charge voltage and battery
sense disconnect alarm for safety shutdown.
Single point
battery temperature compensating control on dual sensing versions with
sensor open circuit and short circuit protection (not available on 3 battery
sensing versions).
Single unit
can be configured for both positive and negative control requiring no circuit
reconfiguration other than external user wiring.
Easy to install
on most types of alternators.
Our unique slow
start ramp which reduces the high belt wear caused by the sudden increase
in power requirement when switching from float to boost.
Monitoring

batteries.
Unit can be
wired in tandem with the existing alternator's regulator or as a stand-alone
intelligent alternator regulator.

Optional alternator
over temperature protection for both alternators, especially useful where
the battery bank comprises of AGM batteries.
To maximise the benefits of fitting the X-ALT we recommend that our low loss X-SPLIT or X-PORT is used in conjunction with the X-ALT where the charge needs to split between one or more separate battery banks.
