The Balmar ARS-5-H is a 12-volt multi-stage regulator for marine alternators and is aimed at anyone who wants significantly better battery charging than with a simple standard regulator, without having to invest in the full range of functions of the Max-Charge series. It replaces the standard, often only single-stage regulator with a programmable multi-stage regulator with five selectable charging programs.
Advantages
- 5 selectable charging programs for common marine battery types
- Significantly faster and gentler charging than with simple single-stage regulators
- Reduced, clear range of functions – easier to set up than the Max-Charge models
- Similar programming logic to MC-618/MC-624, allowing familiar operation in the Balmar ecosystem
- Compact, more affordable entry-level solution for professional alternator regulation
Technical Data & Compatibility
- On-board voltage: 12 V
- 5 selectable charging programs for marine batteries
- Max. excitation current (Field Current): 9 A
- Suitable for Balmar 6-Series alternators up to 120 A
- Designed only for single-engine/single-alternator applications
- Not twin-engine capable and not combinable with the Centerfielder II (CFII) – for twin-engine boats, a Max-Charge regulator (MC-618/MC-624) is absolutely necessary
For whom is the ARS-5 sufficient – and when do I need more?
The ARS-5 is the right choice for single-engine boats with one alternator up to 120 A, where solid multi-stage charging with the five most important battery programs is sufficient. However, if you need temperature compensation, individually programmable charging times, the Belt-Load Manager or a twin-engine application with Centerfielder II, you should opt directly for the MC-618 or MC-624.
Area of Application
Ideal for owners of single-engine boats who want to switch from a simple factory regulator to a true multi-stage charge, without the complexity and price of a Max-Charge regulator.
Extend the life of your battery bank with the ARS-5 and benefit from noticeably faster, gentler charging. If you are unsure whether the ARS-5 or a Max-Charge model is better suited for your boat, the philippi team will be happy to advise you individually.
