A275L-12-VT-IE-49K6 - Arco Marine Zeus A275L Vortec High Output Alternator

Zeus A275L Vortec Alternator with Regulator

The highest power output alternator in its size/class. 

Features:

• Engineered for High Energy Production.
• Suitable for Marine, RV, Military, and Commercial applications.
• Rapidly charges large battery banks.
• Coolest operating temperatures for increased performance. 
• Runs 8 - 20% cooler than incumbent alternators due to: Heat shedding coatings, Rectifier located on housing exterior, Dual cooling fans, and OEM Components.
• It is optimized for performance at idle speeds.
• Reduces the need for a generator by creating additional power with your engine.
• Unleash peak performance with E-Coat/Cerakote. Our advanced coating absorbs less heat, keeping the A275L cooler. This translates to more amperage for sustained periods.
• Use an ARCO Zeus Bluetooth alternator regulator or lithium battery charging for maximum performance.
• SAE J1171 Certified.
• Made in the U.S.A.

The ARCO Marine Zeus A275L Vortec High Output Alternator is designed for high energy production in demanding applications. This 12v alternator, part number A275L-12-VT-IE-49K6, is suitable for marine, RV, military, and commercial use cases. It is engineered to rapidly charge large battery banks, reducing reliance on a generator by providing substantial power output from the engine. Key features include a design optimized for cooler operating temperatures, achieved through heat-shedding coatings, an externally located rectifier, and dual cooling fans. Performance is maintained even at idle speeds, with a sustained idle output of 198 Amps at 3,000 RPM (hot). The unit is internally regulated but includes an adapter for optional external regulation, supporting advanced control with an ARCO Zeus Bluetooth alternator regulator or for lithium battery charging. It replaces Mando-type alternators using Vortec/GM pad mounting feet, commonly found on specific Mercruiser and Volvo Penta marine engines.
