It is a common choice on boats and fits RVs and vans that run an engine battery plus house or thruster banks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiodes on a heat sink only let current flow one way, so a heavy load on one bank can never pull current back up the charge lines from another. Sterling says its diodes drop less voltage than conventional ones (about 0.74 to 0.78V vs 0.93 to 1.1V in its 30 to 70A test), which means less heat and more charge reaching the batteries. Pairing it with an advanced alternator regulator makes up for the remaining drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e D130A3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlternator inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery bank outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax alternator current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Sterling Power with Sterling Power's warranty.
