Twin Alternator Setup

[jonboothx]

Just starting my build for my 2013 Mistsi Fuso 6c18 4x4 (quite a rare truck in the UK)

Struggling to find any information on any dual alternator setups for this truck

Has anyone installed a dual alternator system ? Did it come with brackets / pulleys / belts etc. Can you receommend any suppliers / manufactrers ?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

What is your specific reason for wanting dual alternators?

I haven't seen one of these systems in the flesh, but I listened to someone who had one of these systems in their vehicle, which was a food vendor running freezers inside the food van. He was very impressed with his super fast charging system, which if memory serves me, was supplying power to a 48V battery bank.

This isn't a freezer situation, more like a 24/7 roof mounted air conditioner in a Mercedes Sprinter van.

What is your specific reason for wanting dual alternators?

The truck is 12v and the house battery bank is 48V

I don't know if your 3.0L engine has similar mounts to the former 4.9L engine, but on the 4.9L engine it is relatively simple to mount a second alternator.
I have not done that, but have instead used those mounts to install an engine driven air compressor.
There may not be a specific "mounting kit" for a second alternator, but any decent fabricator could manufacture the required mounting brackets. You could then use something like the Balmar 48V alternator to charge your house batteries.

Hey dude, give Safiery a call. I'm in a similar boat looking for dual output to charge my 48v battery bank.
