Sterling Power APD24 – 24V Alternator Protection Device
Choose options
The Sterling Power APD24 protects your 24V alternator from the damaging voltage spikes (load dump) that occur when a battery or a battery-to-battery charger is suddenly disconnected while the alternator is under load. It clamps those transients before they can reach your alternator's diodes and regulator — cheap insurance for an expensive component in any 24V dual-battery or DC-DC install.

Why It Matters
Alternators hate having their load pulled away suddenly. If a battery isolator opens or a charger drops offline mid-charge, the resulting spike can destroy diodes and regulators. The APD24 gives that energy somewhere safe to go, protecting the alternator across the life of your build.
