SSL639 ~ THIS will change the way we live on BOATS!
For years I have used BALMAR Alternators on my sailboats for bulk charging of battery banks, that’s why when it was time to rebuild a new charging system for our new BETA MARINE diesel engine onboard ‘SOPHISTICATED LADY”, I went back to BALMAR to see what they would recommend. Immediately they referred me to their newest line of High-Output charging devices, the 96-Series 48Vdc line of alternators. I was a little perplexed by the recommendation at the start, but the more I studied, the more I realized that 48Vdc charging and storage banks were going to be the way of the future in mobile off-grid platforms like Boats, RVs, Tiny Homes, etc.
Today I am very happy to bring you my installation of our first of these new devices, and I am sure you will be hearing much more about them in the future as the technology becomes more widely adapted by end-users like us.

Cheers guys, and thanks so much for watching!
