Leece-Neville IdlePro and IdlePro Extreme alternators from Prestolite Electric generate a more efficient range of outputs at low engine speeds, a vital feature for vocational truck, such as for emergency response vehicles, that spend most of their working lives at low rpm while also powering higher-than-usual electrical draws. Available outputs include: 12V, 210-, 230- and 240-amp outputs in a dual internal fan design; and 12V, 280-, 325-, 350- and 420-amp outputs available in a brushless design. The IdlePro uses a minimum of 63% of a unit’s rated maximum output at engine idle, while the 350-amp IdlePro Extreme uses a minimum of 90% of a unit’s rated maximum output (200+ amps). The Remote Sense function restores the battery to a full charge during transit. The eCoated heavy-duty housing reduces corrosion and offers vibration resistance.
