Re: Sprinter 4 cyl Alternator recomendation

Never heard of this Stirling "Thing" before. Interesting. Will the 210 Amp unit work safely with the 250 Amp alternator.

Do you still need a battery separator with the Sterling alternator to battery charger?

Re: Sprinter 4 cyl Alternator recomendation

Looks like to install Alt to Battery charger in RV cabin Wiring must go from Alt then to Stirling then back to Engine battery. Is that true?

The new sprinters have what they call the M47 Alternator for Fuel Economy. I think it is somehow controlled to limit output during certain conditions. Any idea if the Sterling unit would have any issues with it?

I'd suggest calling Mark Grasser of DC Power Solutions. He's a good guy and full of information.
