Starting the installation on SV Liahona … replacing the old Bosch Alternator and Xantrex regulator, neither compatible with Lithium batteries.
We will be installing a GenMaax 215 alternator, and serpentine belt to fit the Perkins 4.236 diesel, combined with a Emaax Pro + smart regulator.
The installation will also include the ElectroMaax Surge Suppresor, as the BMS in the batteries can generate an electrical spike if they are sudden activated to shut down the battery. This can potentially damage the alternator diodes, or other sensitive electronic equipment.
