Description
Balmar’s new MaxCharge MC-618-H 12 volt marine voltage regulators feature custom-selectable preset programs for nine battery technologies – standard flooded; deep-cycle flooded; gel; AGM; spiral-wound; LiFePO4; and Carbon Foam AGM – plus a default factory safe program and a separate program for vessels with voltage sensitive halogen systems. Advanced programming mode adds even greater user control.
Balmar has upgraded its legendary MC-614 Voltage Regulator to communicate with the SG200 Battery Monitor! Now you can see how the New MC-618 Regulator is directing your alternator charging activity from either the SG200 2″ Color Display and/or the optional Bluetooth® Smartphone App. Basic setup functions can be accomplished from the SG200 Color Display, Smartphone App or the traditional on-regulator programming tool. Advanced Programming functions are available and easily configured from the Bluetooth® Smartphone App.

Andre –
Great voltage regulator with many programmable options to adapt to your boat conditions and battery system. Can be put off remotely which means you could act on the regulator with a Lithium battery BMS.
Great help and support by Tim to configure the required components. Balmar delivered in St Martin through a forwarder and the installation was done on the boat at anchor !
