X-SPLIT APPLICATION No.4

Application showing an alternator system and a separate mains driven battery charger charging a two battery bank system. The alternator control circuit has the addition of a member of the X-ALT Alternator (in this instance the Buccaneer) charge controller family installed to re-charge the batteries back to full charge quickly and more efficiently then a simple stand alone alternator. In this application the alternator and battery charger charges both batteries separately and ideally the battery charger should be switched off before the engine is started. If the battery charger has multiple outputs as standard the individual outputs could be wired direct to the battery terminals by passing the X-SPLIT. For further applications using  alternator charge controllers in conjunction with the X-SPLIT look at the application notes associated with the X-ALT. Click here to go to the X-ALT application page.
