Mechman Alternators

Recommended Posts

So the avbm only adjust your voltage set point but doesn't increase amperage? Are there any advantages in buying this over just upgrading your alt besides price?

gives you the ability to turn up the voltage form inside the vehicle.

What I'm trying to figure out is are you gaining anything as far as power for your amplifier since the alternator will still put out the same amperage? I'm not up on the volt/amps which is why I'm asking. It seems like just increasing voltage wouldn't really do much since your not increasing the amperage that's going into your amplifier.

Having the ability to adjust the voltage is for being able to run 12 or 14 volt batteries

Okay. Someone who doesn't know any better will think they are actually going to gain more output from their alternator just by being able to set their voltage higher. This is the sad mistake many have made in the past and they still don't know. Instead they just set their voltage at 15.3 as oppose to 14.8 and think they are gaining output when their not.

The new adjustable voltage boost module is now in stock and shipping!!!

The AVBM II is an easy to install module that plugs into the alternator and allows the user to monitor and adjust charging voltage via the in-car controller. The LED meter is extremely accurate, and easy to read with BLUE led back lighting.

Adjustment range is 14.0 to 19.2 volts, and can be used with 12 volt, 14 volt or 16 volt batteries. The AVBM II can also be custom ordered for multiple or universal style alternators. (additional fees apply for multi-alternator harnesses)

The AVBM II is proudly made in the USA, and comes with a 2 year warranty for just $179 shipped anywhere in the 48 states !!

Currently available for 1985 through 2004 GMs, non PCM controlled Ford 6G alternators, plus many more vehicle applications to come!

Here is a link to the GM 1996-2004 4 pin oval unit on our online store: http://store.mechmanhighoutputalternators.com/avbm-ii-for-gm-4-pin-oval-alternators/

Unfortunately, No those are PCM controlled.

No prob, thanks for fast response. =)
