Product Details

The Balmar XT-DF4-250-DV-KIT is a complete high-output charging system that includes the XT-DF4-250-DV alternator, MC-618 multi-stage voltage regulator, temperature sensors, and mounting hardware. This 250-amp, 12-volt alternator features a 4-inch dual foot saddle mount with dual vee pulley and case ground design, making it compatible with J-180 mount applications typically found on John Deere, Cummins, and Caterpillar engines.

XT-Series Alternator Technology:

  • State-of-the-art braided wire stator design generates exceptional output in a compact package
  • Features 96 slots compared to 36 slots in traditional S-wound stators for superior electromagnetic energy and efficiency
  • Delivers up to 186 amps at idle speeds for 12V applications
  • Operates 5 to 10 degrees Celsius cooler than previous AT-Series designs
  • Smart Ready internal regulator technology provides additional fault tolerance
  • Dual fan cooling system for high-airflow performance

MC-618 Max Charge Regulator Features:

  • Multi-stage voltage regulator with user-selectable programs for deep-cycle flooded, standard flooded, gel, AGM, spiral wound AGM, Carbon Foam, and LiFePO4 batteries
  • Bluetooth-capable with integration to SG200 Battery Monitor for viewing alternator activity from color display or smartphone app
  • Modifies charging voltage to meet charge state, battery type, and temperature for faster, fuller battery charging
  • Uses active temperature regulation to maximize high-temperature output
  • Includes 54-inch wiring harness with power, field, ignition, stator, and ground wires

Important Installation Notes:

  • Must be used in dual vee or multi-groove serpentine belt configurations
  • May require a Tachometer Signal Stabilizer (Part No. 15-TSS) if your current tachometer is not adjustable
  • Temperature sensors monitor both alternator and battery conditions for optimal performance

This complete charging kit is ideal for marine, RV, and industrial applications requiring high-capacity charging systems, especially those with lithium battery banks or large house battery configurations. The compact design delivers professional-grade charging performance with advanced protection features.

Quick, easy.

Easy, seamless. Quick delivery.

I like the process of looking for the part but I just hope the part is what the pic looks like

Quick and simple process and they had what I needed.

The instructions state the need for a 13mm socket but it's a 14 that's needed. Also the spacers on the light bar are too big to use both in the bull bar. Had to split one in half. Also, absolutely ZERO instructions with the light bar installation in the bull bar was infuriating.

Easy peasy.
