New Balmar – SmartReady Retrofit Kits

We are pleased to announce a new Balmar product that can reduce the cost of adding Balmar Multi-Stage alternator regulation by half.

Thanks to SmartReady Technology for Yanmar Engines equipped with Valeo Alternators, Yanmar owners can now add Balmar Smart Regulation without disposing of the Valeo 120A/12V Alternator.

A simple retrofit of the Valeo alternator converts the Valeo to accept Balmar’s famous Multi-Stage external regulators.

A brochure with pictures and explanation of how it all works is available here: Balmar Smart Ready Datasheet

The retrofit kits are available now an can be purchased online from the Victronenergy web store

For further information, please contact us.
