Antares
Virtual Alternator
The Virtual Alternator overcomes the problem of charging auxiliary batteries correctly, wherever they are situated on the vehicle, tractor or trailer.
Cable volt drop, temperature variation, location and battery technology all demand a unique charging regime at the (auxiliary) battery. This is invariably different from the what the OEM alternator gives which will be optimised for the cranking battery.
Early methods involved modifying the regulators. However the Antares Virtual alternator requires no intervention in the OEM alternator, avoiding potential warranty problems, but can still utilise the full power of the alternator.
In addition it can also be a 24V “virtual” alternator and provide for24V loads mounted on a 12V chassis!
It can be used either on its own, for smaller loads and batteries, or in conjunction with the ASC+ to provide battery
