Alternator Regulators from American Power Systems

APS’s state-of-the-art alternator regulators are the industry standard in DC charge controllers, providing optimal battery charging and care. The APS-500 can use both current and voltage to regulate charging. These advanced units use multiple data points—including battery voltage, current in/out, and battery and alternator temperature—to charge virtually any commercially available battery type, including the latest in lithium-ion technology. The APS-500 Alternator Regulator used in conjunction with an APS 3000 Series Bi-Directional Converter represents a simple solution for complete energy management for dual-voltage vehicles, such as 12V/48V configurations used with lithium-ion battery banks.

Industry-Standard DC Charge Alternator Regulators

Highly configurable and enabled to communicate via control area network (CAN) communication, APS's APS-500 can be used with 12-, 24- and 48-volt systems, as well as others. It is completely customizable with no hardware changes and is ideal for marine and RV applications, as well as commercial trucks and vans. When purchased with our alternators, we provide application-specific programming for the APS-500 so that the complete solution is turnkey upon receipt. We also work on a case-by-case basis with clients desiring to use a non-APS alternator, however, for safety reasons, in these instances, we require full disclosure of the application and its end use by the client.
