The Balmar XT-DF-170-K6-KIT is a complete high-output marine alternator charging system designed for vessels with demanding electrical loads. This kit includes the XT-DF-170-K6 alternator, MC-618 regulator, temperature sensors, and mounting hardware, providing everything needed for professional installation.
Advanced XT-Series Technology:
The XT-Series alternator features a state-of-the-art braided wire stator design that achieves an industry-best 85% copper windings density, compared to traditional designs. This results in a more efficient alternator which provides more power at low RPM, higher overall power and cooler operation. The XT-Series produces slightly more power than the previous AT-Series 165A design and operates 5-10°C cooler.
Key Features:
- 170 amp output at 12 volts with over 110 amps available at idle speeds
- 3.15-inch dual foot saddle mount configuration
- K6 serpentine pulley with case ground design
- Hitachi-style mounting typical for Yanmar, Westerbeke, Lehman, and Perkins-Sabre engines
- Dual fan cooling with high airflow frame design
- Custom high-speed bearings engineered for extended service life
- USCG Title 33, ISO 8846, and SAE J1171 certified for marine safety
- MC-618 multi-stage voltage regulator for optimized battery charging
Performance Benefits:
The XT-Series alternator produces over 100 amps at idle speed, making it ideal for vessels with high electrical demands including ballast pumps, stereo systems, instrumentation, and house battery charging. This exceptional idle output helps prevent battery sulfation and extends battery life by maintaining proper charge levels even during low-RPM operation.
The compact case design delivers maximum output in minimal space while maintaining cooler operating temperatures for reliable marine service. The included MC-618 regulator provides intelligent multi-stage charging to properly maintain all battery types and configurations.
