alternator

I bought a used 2017 Forester TS2391 (on a Ford Transit body) with a 100 Amp-hr Lithium Phosphate battery. The vehicle’s alternator charges the coach/house battery when you are driving. It does this “through the battery isolator/relay” per Forest River literature. We have driven and dry-camped...

I have a brand new in box Nations Alternator Generator for sale. I completely rebuilt my house electrical system on my 2016 Roadtrek CS Adventurous. In the process I got the opportunity to buy a new Nations engine generator and I didn’t do enough homework. It’s for newer rigs and won’t fit my...

I have a Montana High Country 377FL and am looking to purchase a new GMC Sierra 3500 with a 6.6L Duromax Diesel engine. The one I want has a single alternator but there is another one with a dual alternator but I don’t like it as much. Does anyone have experience with this?

This regards a simple method to protect an alternator from overheating and failure when lifepo4 are substituted for flooded or agm. I think I read somewhere of a way to install a temperature sensing device on the alternator that could interrupt charging the lithium batteries. As I understand it...

Good afternoon from Arizona, Appreciate You having Me. I grew up in the late 80's installing car stereos. My friends know that and now I'm the "Wiring Guy" for all of their fun ideas!! It's a blessing & a curse. My current project: Installing 2 Lithium Batteries into a 2007 Holiday Rambler...

The RV is a 2002 Nat'l Tradewinds. The chassis is a Summit. The alternator has stopped charging. I would like to start diagnosing by following the Exciter Circuit. My initial research is the circuit starts with the ignition and depending on configuration goes through a relay and possibly an...

In December of 2017 we purchased a 1997 Safari Trek 2430 on a workhorse chassis with a 454 (7.4L) Gasser engine. This Safari and I believe all gassers of this vintage use a 4 terminal Solid State Battery isolator.and a CS130 alternator There are 4 terminals on the isolator 1) Alternator 2)...

I have a v10 engine in my 2016 Fleetwood Bounder. Sorry I haven’t looked at the alternator specs, but what I have heard is that I might need to replace the alternator with one with different specifications. Current I have 4 Lifeline AGM 6 v 220 amp batteries and am thinking of going to...

A while ago while returning home from wintering in Florida in our Thor Coleman 24 cm class, we were driving down the road when suddenly we lost all power. Fortunately I had enough momentum to pull off the road. No lights on dash. No click or crank when I tried to restart. Thought maybe the...

Trying to find relay location for alternator to charge batteries

Stuck in Yellowstone trying to find a new alternator for a 99 Monaco Diplomat. We have a Cummins 275hp ISB.* All the documentation indicates it is a 160 Amps, the build sheet says it is a Leece Neville A001284JB. Looking for a source for the part and if you know any good mechanics in the...

I have a 2017 MW 25B. While on a 4 hour trip today I checked my Victron Connect battery monitor (while driving) and saw that the battery was in a net discharge state vs a charging state (see pic). The battery was slowly discharging the whole way. When we got to the campground I turned the...

1998 HR Endeavor 275 Cummins 5.9... is there a relay, fuse, voltage regulator, etc. in the charging circuit? Making sure before I go through the trouble to change the alternator just in case it could be something simple. Alternator never charged the house batteries and this weekend stopped...

Replacing the alternator that seized up on my ‘14 Dutchstar. It’s mostly a bolt on part, but looking for any tips on upgrading a higher amperage output unit, as I plan to do a lithium batteries install in a few months. Thanks

Just returned from a 1500 mile trip through Maine, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec. It would have been wonderful if our BIM had performed as advertised but no. My rig is a 2017 Ford E-450 chassis with a Triton V10 engine. I believe the alternator is 130A. The house (coach) batteries...

I am in the process of troubleshooting this issue with Silverleaf and Lithionics. Silverleaf is saying it is not the TM102. I have two Xantrex inverters, one is set up to run the front roof AC off the house batteries. Several times now I have driven and run the roof AC and when I arrived at my...

First time poster. Forgive me if this is a topic that has been covered multiple times. I did search for it first and didn't find much. I have an older Class C on the Ford E350 chassis. I recently upgraded to lithium. The RV was setup from the factory to alternator charge the old lead acid house...

2006 International CE300 IHC-35 7.6 DT466e Allison 2000 220k Bought this as a weekend hangout / fun vehicle for myself and friends. While not picture perfect rust wise she's pretty good for living in Ohio for 20 years. Mainly going to be focusing on the essentials of course, so loud music...

I’m having problems locating and identifying the alternator isolation selonoid on my 2013 Tiffin Allegro Bus. Does anyone know what it looks like and where it’s located?

We have 02 Monaco Dyn Queen, ISL 400 on a Roadmaster chassis with a Tag Axle. On trip up to Colorado a couple of weeks ago the alternator was over charging the house batteries and not charging the chassis batteries,(figured that out post shutdown) There were no Alt warnings.... but...

Hi folks, My 2013 Palazzo isn't charging the chassis battery when driving. The trip I'm on now, I have to run the generator while driving to charge the house batteries, and run a jumper cable to the chassis batteries. I measured the voltage at the chassis battery circuit breaker where the...

We have a 2001 Affinity - for some reason when the wire is attached to the "I" terminal - the coach will run with the key off. I thought that the I terminal received 12v from the ignition but I have discovered from Delco that while this is true for a moment to excite the alternator - once...

In a number of boats I worked on, I used the Balmar Marine 250-350Amp alternators to charge very large inverter battery banks, these cost upwards of $1,500 when spec'd for gasoline powered vessels (because of the specialized 'ignition protection; requirement in boat hulls). I'm wondering if...

Does anybody know what type of alternator is on a 2022 Freightliner chassis with the I9 Cummins engine (450 hp)? I want to make sure my Orion is set correctly to charge my lithium battery bank while driving.

Hi friends, I have a question about start-up issues. Our 2003 Ford e350 7.3 Diesel has a new starter battery as of June 2024 and 3 auxiliary batteries also new last year. When we go to crank it (warm weather, shouldn't be a problem) it sounds like it's trying to crank (you can hear it firing)...
