American Power Systems, Inc.’s regulators represent the state of the art in DC charge controllers, providing optimal battery charging and care. Unlike most multi-stage regulators, 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.

+ More About APS Alternator Regulators
When purchased with our alternators, we provide application-specific programming for the APS-500 so that the complete solution is turnkey upon receipt. While we strongly encourage pairing the APS-500 with our alternators, we realize the uniqueness of each of our partners and their specific applications. For this reason, we will work on a case-by-case basis with clients desiring to use a non-APS alternator. For safety reasons in these instances, however, we require full disclosure of the application and its end use by the client.
We continue to supply our military-style regulator with MIL-SPEC connectors, shown at lower right, as well.
