I regularly charge house battery bank with impunity using the alternator, figure if a 160 amp alternator can't handle a hundred amp charge then I'd rather it go ahead and die. Generator run time is too long to charge my lead acid batteriy bank.
The Balmar regulator is interesting but really expensive for what it is. If you want an easy way to control the voltage output of your alternator just come up with a simple device to set the bias on your sense wire (disconnected from isolator of course.) You can make it output any voltage you wish this way, it's merely removing the control of the alternator from the dumb isolator to the smart operator.
