    Frying Alternators

    The stacked alt has 2 of everything, so each regulated seperately. 2 stators, 2 rotors, 2 regulators, 2 sets of slip rings. 2 alternators on a common shaft. This would provide great individual regulation of each.

    The alternators Wolverine sells are Chinese Delco clones. They work well. He has great customer support plus includes all you need, at a very reasonable price. The alternator I sold (?) Wes was a brand new genuine Delco 33Si 24v brushless unit, MSRP nearly $850. Wes was running 5 fans plus...

    I want your $ J-Dog, I’ll admit it. Nobody here is going to pay $1,500 for an alternator. Thanks for stopping by. Next.

    He wants the Leece for benchmarking or to resell, but does not want to buy one. Claims it is a $3,300 unit.

    Military truck enthusiasts a tough crowd? I would have never imagined... Why on your website do you demand a $200 core charge on your unit in exchange for “an undamaged” Neihoff dual voltage alternator? Leece NeVille is not spelled with an “s” in place of the “c”. Drop the price to $250...

    Yep. Bad news as that filter plugs up and the alternator melts. Better to leave it open and let everything pass, like a jet engine.

    We do appreciate ingenuity, but the price point is not effective at this location, that's all. Almost all of us can fit 2 alternators on our engine accessory drives if we want/need to, so for us, you would need to come in at just over the price of 2 Chinese Delco clones, or about $250 for your...

    Chinese Delco clones can be had new for about $90 in 70amp 24v rating, J-180 mount, 1 year warranty. I’ve never seen an air filter on an alternator, it likely greatly restricts cooling flow since the fan does not pull strongly. His setup is convienent, but pricy. I just draw off one battery...

    I don’t mean to be such a Negative Nancy. I think the idea is simplistically great, and we should always encourage innovation. The market will decide the price point, as with anything in life. I hope it takes off for you.

    While I think most people here are going to pass on $1,200 for 2 old technology Delco clones mushed together with inadequate cooling, here is an example shot of yesterday vs today alternator technology. This is the stator from a 250 amp 12v automotive alternator. Uses square wire so no air...

    Here is some pricing, from a nearly same written article, but different location. I believe Wolverine has been a member here for a long while with positive feedback and a good reputation. Looks like in excess of $1200. http://www.wolverinetechnologiesllc.com/DualVoltageAlternator.html...

    Sounds great. We look forward to your offerings. Folks here are very budget minded on a personal finance level, hence the reason we buy government discards. Sorry, I don't have any knowledge of Neihoff products, my exposure is only with high volume mass production components, mainly for US...

    Latest tech in mass production automotive alternators is using square wire with hairpin wound stators starting with the Denso SC II series in 2002/3, now +250 amp output for 12v automotive, PWM or LIN bus control, alternator load % feedback, soft start, clutch pulley or de-coupler pulley, and...

    Thread from the dead! This one over 2 years old. Awesome. Ron, pull up a chair and tell us what you have, where it is made, what the ratings are, your warranty, and price? The $100 Chinese Delco clones are a hard act to beat, and available in 12v or 24v. For $200, one can have both on...

    An alternator is also at a higher failure risk if fully loaded at an idle, as that is when cooling airflow is the lowest.

    No. A properly regulated alternator will not "fry" a battery, no mater what its amperage capability is. Most of the dual voltage alternator units require an external voltage regulator box, so be sure to obtain that also.

    Not really. I just guess and see how many believers I can gather.
