Balmar Alternator Protection Module: Solid-State Defence Against Voltage Spikes and Load Dumps

Safeguard Your Alternator from Lithium BMS Disconnects, Switch Interruptions, and Inductive Surges

The Balmar Alternator Protection Module (APM) provides robust, solid-state protection for your alternator’s diodes and internal regulator. Designed to clamp high-energy voltage spikes and absorb sustained over-voltage conditions, the APM is essential for any charging system exposed to lithium battery BMS disconnects, battery switch interruptions, or surges from solenoids, combiners, and starter motors. Without protection, these events can instantly destroy an alternator—the APM eliminates that risk.

Engineered to meet stringent international standards, the APM mounts directly at the rear of the alternator between the B+ and B- terminals, ensuring the shortest possible path for surge diversion. Its compact, sealed design withstands harsh marine and automotive environments, including salt spray and fog, making it ideal for marine alternator protection, RV electrical systems, and off-grid power setups.

How the APM Protects Your Alternator

Voltage spikes occur when a load is suddenly removed from the alternator—such as a lithium battery’s BMS opening under full charge. The resulting load dump can generate spikes well above the alternator’s rating, puncturing diodes and frying regulators. The Balmar APM instantly clamps these transients, absorbing surge currents in excess of 200 A without failure. It also handles sustained over-voltage conditions, shunting excess energy away from sensitive electronics.

Unlike sacrificial devices that fail after a single event, the APM is designed for repeated surges. A green LED indicates active protection; if the module is ever compromised, a red LED and audible alarm alert you to replace it—providing clear, immediate status without guesswork.

Key Features

  • Solid-state surge protection clamps voltage spikes and absorbs load-dump energy
  • Protects against lithium BMS disconnects, battery switch interruptions, and inductive surges
  • Surge absorption in excess of 200 A for repeated events without failure
  • Visual and audible failure indication: green LED = protecting; red LED + beep = replace
  • Compact, direct-mount design installs at alternator B+ and B- terminals
  • Meets ISO 16750-2, ISO 7637-2, SAE J1171, and ASTM B117 for load dump, surge, ignition protection, and salt spray
  • Compatible with all alternator brands and isolated or case-grounded configurations

Built for Harsh Environments

The APM’s sealed electronics and corrosion-resistant construction meet ASTM B117 salt spray/fog standards, ensuring reliable operation in coastal and marine applications. SAE J1171 ignition protection makes it safe for installation in engine rooms and other hazardous areas. Whether you’re powering a marine alternator on a bluewater cruiser, a 12V alternator in a mining vehicle, or a 12V alternator in an off-grid solar system, the APM delivers consistent, maintenance-free defence.

Simple Installation, Immediate Protection

Installation is straightforward: connect the red lead to the alternator’s B+ post and the black lead to B- (isolated ground alternators) or to a case mounting bolt (case ground alternators). The module’s small footprint fits neatly behind the alternator, requiring no additional brackets or wiring runs. Once connected, the APM begins protecting immediately—no configuration needed.

Clamping up to 60 V for 12 V systems, with sustained over-voltage protection beginning around 20 V

✨✨✨✨✨
This little cowboy shirt is adorable! The fabric is soft and comfortable for my toddler, and it held up well after a couple of washes without shrinking or fading. The snaps make it super easy to get on and off, which is a lifesaver with a wiggly kid. The stitching and details give it a genuine western look, and my child loved wearing it. No complaints here—it’s a fun, well-made piece that looks even cuter in person.

Great Quality Shirt and Nice Color
Size: 14, Color: Khaki, Size: 14, Color: Khaki
This cowboy shirt is excellent, but make sure to size up if your child is bigger. My son is 9 years old, and I had to order the 14-year size for a good fit. The fabric is very good quality, and I really loved the color. It looks great and feels warm

A good First Communion suit
Size: 6, Color: White, Size: 6, Color: White
This suit looks and feels really nice even though it’s not 100% linen. My son is an average size 7 year old, but I got a size 6 so that the fit would be nice and snug and not loose and baggy. It was the right choice. Comes with a bow tie which is nice, a tie (which is very cheap and poorly made) and a pocket square.

Very stylish💜💜
Size: 6, Color: Light Blue, Size: 6, Color: Light Blue
This little suit for boys is very stylish. I bought it for my grandson for a wedding occasion and it looked very nice. The fabric is not too thick so for the summer wedding it was great. I pick the blue color and it looked fantastic!
