The Balmar 97XD-24-190 is a high-output, extra-large case marine alternator delivering 190 amps at 24 volts, purpose-built for large diesel propulsion engines including Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and John Deere powerplants. Designed to handle the demanding electrical loads found aboard commercial and heavy-duty recreational vessels, this alternator is engineered to support large multi-battery banks, inverter systems, and substantial house loads with the output of a small generator set.
Featuring a J-180-style saddle mount (dual foot) configuration with a 4-inch mounting footprint, the 97XD fits as a direct replacement for standard J-180 mount alternators or can be installed as a second alternator on custom saddle-mount brackets. The unit comes standard with a K6 serpentine pulley (K8 pulley available on request) and features a case ground termination for reliable system grounding.
Key Features:
The Balmar 97XD Series is the preferred choice for large diesel applications where reliable, high-output charging is critical. When paired with a Balmar external multi-stage regulator, this alternator delivers a fully optimized, tailored charging profile to maximize battery life and system efficiency across all operating conditions.
