Suprman You are probably correct but. With our setup you separate the batteries. Say two 12 volt connected parellel for the 12 volt and say two 12 volt batts connected in series for the 24 volt side. This works. This also makes it very simple to install and to maintain. You can add more batts...

Aleigh I have been trying to tell the Military that some engineers were not on the same page when they designed the alternator and the mounting brackets. The holes, the bolts, the sizes, the design, do not match. All the field people say - well we are waiting for a new design. My alternator...

I understand the overheating of the alternator. What happens is the alternator is working and at the same time getting hotter. The hotter it gets the less power it can produce. This causes it to work even harder and the cycle continues until it shuts down or burns up a part. The alternator needs...

In racing we used lockers often. Today Nascar uses them on several tracks. With close to 900 HP they seldom break. I guess the military has another problem to solve. Me,I am busy with electrical systems in vehicles. I tell owners to not put my alternator under water. They can chance the outcome...

Just saw the reason for core charge on dual voltage. We take some of them apart to analyze the reason they failed. We then junk all of them. We do not, nor would we rebuild, or re-sell. Regulator too. Not worth the trouble. They can keep their old core. Or sell it. Ebay has new/used dual...

To answer a few questions; I have several Dual Voltage 12/24 alternators on LMTV models. All running with success. Last post to me is a customer with 2500 plus miles on several trips. We follow up with a couple calls to check on them. Paint is only paint. Anyone and $4 paint can change to the...

Thanks for the heads up. I believe they have a large problem.

Loss of amps. Any time you use electronic equipment to change voltages you give away some of you watts/power/amps. Every time you pass through a diode you loose voltage. That loss creates heat. Ask any electronic knowledge person. This should help From Microship's Web Seminar on DC-DC converter...

Why do people pick and pick. We have two things going a prefilter and a aluminum shield for those that do kick up the mud. Maybe one should ask before showing their? Below is a few filters with pre filters. Notice the pre-filters that can be washed. We have aluminum mud shields too...

For paint we have to use a etching liquid to get the paint to stick. The paint has some epoxy in it to make it more durable. Powder coat can be done but only with bare parts. We will have a few paint selections in January. Regards Ron

In regards to my alts. ALL alternators are milled on our CNC machine to provide better air flow, tighter tolerance, and correct casting errors. Patent 9793779. None are in stock form from Chinese, Mexico, India or USA. Every part is removed for the milling operation so that liquid coolant can...

Any paint color you wish or I can leave it Aluminum and you can have at it. This alternator is sealed air tight. The yellow is heavy equipment yellow. We were thinking about a military camo as option. Any recommendations?

In regards to under hood temperature. I have personally measured my 2013 Chev Silverado pickup. At the alternator which is on top front of the engine 187f degrees, in July here in SC with the AC on.. Your open fender trucks probably are cooler but how about a Limo- Police Car- Taxi - SUV and...

From that information I know for sure you have too many things electrical going on. 60 amp is not even close. When you 1st start the engine the alternator will be at full output trying to refill the watts that you used since it was running. The alternator has to also maintain the watts that you...

Square/rectangle wire/wiring has been around for 40 plus years. It is not necessary in most cases for Heavy Duty usage. Like many products, you pay extra. Using either type of Stator and Rotor combination, brushes or brushless the unit must be able to cool. That is why we got Patent 9793779 that...

I am looking forward to discussions on the differences between Military and Civilian Alternators. Each has a weakness. Unfortunately the Military has too many. You only get a few thousand regular road miles on a Military Alternator and one can easily get 125,000 miles on a civilian model. As a...

Hello Guys. I am now considered a Vendor. If you are having Alternator Problems go to double-alt.com See Home page and move to Military page. My basic Double Alternator is 70 amps at 27.4 volts and 145 amps at 14.2 volts. It replaces Many of the Niefhoff, Delco, Prestolite, and Leese Neville...

Alternators Can anyone show me vehicle parts that have a shelf life? Maybe a gasket that dries out. Well, certain Military Alternators do. We are not talking about a loaf of bread or a can of beans. I have civilian alternators that are 20 years old and as good as the day they were built. On the...

A true double alternator can fix most of the Military Vehicles electrical issues. Soon it will be a vendor on SS. Ron Double Alt

Hello Soon on SS I will have my double alternator as a vendor. Just waiting for Paypal and credit card merchant approval. I can answer basic questions without trying to sell you. Niehoff and others try to sell you a dual voltage alternator output. While this is true you get 2 voltages, you are...
