In general, the alternator isn't going to care if the computer thinks it is bulk or absorption when it is first turned on. The computer will let it do charge at whatever rate it can until it gets to...

Bulk and absorption are the same voltage setpoint and the only difference is how much current the batteries are accepting. Bulk is the first stage and runs at constant until it hits the voltage...

Be aware that overrunning clutches don't always fail like yours did and keep working, kind of. Sometimes the lock up, which would be OK, but sometimes they also come apart, which would put you by...

I just looked at the Nations site and they list a computer compatible large 280 amp alternator for 2007 Sprinters for the stock location and also the well know 280 amp addon kit. The runs on a...

I don't recall what size Sterling you have, but assume the 120 amp one?


The clutches in question are usually just overrunning clutches to smooth out the belt and alternator load and reduce...

What did you have the low voltage cutout set at on the Outback? Having a high end pure sine wave inverter would be a necessity to run on two batteries. I also was able to get out CoolCat to start...

Your time per 100ah is likely pretty close for most instances, but the caveat is that to get the AC to run at all, you would need at least two 100ah batteries, and in that case you would also likely...

On a large system like the Li3 you should be able to run most everything else all night if the AC isn't running, but if the AC is used, it could get dicey overnight. The AC will certainly always be...

Yep, and if the Balmar takes the Nations alternator into overheat output reduction, the van alternator will pick up way more load than it can put out for long periods, and you could be looking at...

While I understand what you are saying, just going around the "rules" and hoping not to get caught is not the right way to address it, IMO.



We have had employees of RV related companies on...

Sad to say, I am not at all surprised you lost the alternator, as vehicle alternators, unless special ones like the monster ARV now uses, are not rated, or capable, of the percent of output that...

I think Monica998 should divulge the fact that she is representing a battery manufacturer, so may not be completely objective.


It is nice to have the manufacturers give their input on many of...

Those that have been running theirs regularly will be able to fill in the blanks, but I think you are way low. Most of the AC units pull nearly 100 amps when the compressor is on, and much, much,...
