Alternator Install In a Mercedes 508D (AS-PL 100A, 24V)

[@midlifemigration4256]

Really helpful video guys , thanks! I'm going to change our stock 55A alternator for a 120A version to help run my Victron Orion B2B charger and my LiFePO4 setup. The stock alternator doesn't provide enough current!

Glad it helped 🤗 thanks for watching 😀

Hi guys! There are similar and great things- looking at the fire, looking at the dancing woman when she doesn't see you and looking at the man who fixes or serves his car! ))) I like your technical videos a lot! Good job!))​ P.S. Perfect music background.) ​

Hallo Katja and Bjorn, interesting video it is the same work we have to do. We have build in two lifepo4 battery and like to see a shorter load time. We try to learn from your video, thanks

[@Beelzebus]

Sounds great! How many Ah do you have in your system? we calculated that we would need 500Ah in our system but it looks like we need more probably since we like traveling during winters. 😅😅 If you have any questions just give us a shout👍

[@rienalblas2058]

Hello again Katja and Bjorn our system is party old, solar panels(24 v)>14 years old with New reglar from Victron and two 100 amp lifepo4 battery serial, our 508 is 24 volt so the van battery(led) are also serial 2x100 amp. When driving, the switch open and load the house battery to but with low amp. Does that change when we build in a havy alternator? Before the lifepo4 we had fritits battery from Biltema and they get loaded very good. But when the lifepo4 batts are loaded 99 % we can stay 4 nights on the spot.

I learned so much watching this. Great job dismantling and installing your new alternator. Also, was that a Korean drink in the background in your garage?

[@Beelzebus]

Awesome that´s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 🤗 I have a bottle of Japanese whiskey for the late nights in the garage 😉😉 do you like Asian drinks? they´re hard to get here in Sweden though.😢

[@noahlomax1]

@@Beelzebus Thank you for always posting great videos. That is so cool to have Japanese whiskey. I totally enjoy Asian drinks. They are very smooth and tasty.

Is the alternator 24V? The car is 12v only starter is 24v. But do you know were the voltage regulator is?

[@Beelzebus]

Yes our alternator is 24V and the rest of the truck too all thee lights etc, 🤗 but the living part of our system is 12V. Our alternator has an inbuilt voltage regulator. 👍

[@thorstenmuller9255]

Hello guys! Great video and great job! Which plates for the belts did you use? Can you please send me a link? Thanks from the Netherlands/Germany.

[@Beelzebus]

Hi Thorsten! Thank you! Sadly we bought it at the local Truck/hardware store and I went back and asked but it was a spare part just forgotten on a shelve so they can´t say for sure what it was but maybe you could check with a local shop what they would recommend? Because as long as they can get the same belts on it should work or change belt length it can work also. Please let us know if you solve it which part that worked because many people asked us the same question. 🤗😉

[@thorstenmuller9255]

Hi Katja, hi Björn, thanks for replying. I didn’t start that project until now but I really like it and the possibilities you get with an electric fan. So yes, if I solved it for myself I will let you know. Cheers, Thorsten 🤘

[@Beelzebus]

@@thorstenmuller9255 Awesome! Cheers!

Hejsan. Vilket av batterierna kopplar man dc/dc chargern till? Är på gång att installera på vår pärla men är lite osäker :)

[@Beelzebus]

Tjabba! Bra fråga vi använder en DC/DC som är 24V-12V då har vi kopplat vår från startbatterierna 24V till B2B laddaren sedan till våra bodels batterier som är 12V. Se till att ha ett skiljerelä i mellan dina startbatterier och B2B laddaren så att din bil först och främst laddar startbatterierna och sedan fortsätter med att ladda din bodel, annars kan du tömma dina startbatterier. Hoppas detta hjälper är inte så duktig på o förklara saker 😅 Annars är det bara o fråga igen.

[@paulmanning9540]

Thankyou for the info.. Did you remove the nest from the engine bay? lol
