Product Details

The Balmar 60-100-DV is a high-output marine alternator from the 60-Series line, delivering 100 amps at 12 volts in a compact, small-case design. It features a 3.15" saddle mount (dual foot) configuration with a Dual Deep Vee (DV) pulley and isolated ground — built to the Hitachi-style mounting standard typical for Yanmar, Westerbeke, Lehman, and Perkins-Sabre marine diesel engines. This alternator replaces the discontinued Balmar 60-100-SR-IG.

At the core of this alternator is Balmar's patented Smart Ready® Technology, which gives the 60-100-DV a unique dual-mode capability. It can operate as a fully self-contained, internally regulated alternator (fixed 14.1V charge controller) or be paired with an external smart multi-stage voltage regulator such as the Balmar ARS-5 or Max Charge series. This makes it suitable as a reliable backup regulator for cruisers or a standalone solution for vessels with modest electrical loads and frequent engine run times.

Key Features:

  • Output: 100A, 12V high-output performance
  • Mounting: 3.15" saddle mount, dual foot (Hitachi-style)
  • Pulley: Dual Deep Vee (DV) — 1/2" dual V-belt
  • Ground: Isolated ground for improved system grounding and noise reduction
  • Cooling: Dual internal fans with open-frame high-airflow case design
  • Smart Ready® Technology: Patented internal regulator with external regulator compatibility
  • Max RPM: 12,000 RPM
  • Case: Corrosion-resistant powder-coated cast aluminum with five-way universal tensioning crown
  • Safety: Ignition-safe for marine gas or diesel engines; meets USCG Title 33, ISO 8846, and SAE J1171 standards
  • Replaces: 60-100-SR-IG

For vessels with larger deep-cycle battery banks or less frequent engine duty cycles — common in sailing applications — the 60-100-DV pairs seamlessly with Balmar's ARS-5 or Max Charge multi-stage voltage regulators (sold separately) to maximize battery charging efficiency and longevity.
