The new Mechman MM-VC1 provides a professional and straightforward installation way to control 2005> GM 2pin equipped alternators.  GM's RVC System is good in stock vehicle applications but when adding accessories that will require higher or just more stable voltage, this is a great solution!

Previously, a Mechman alternator customer would need to send in their 2pin alternator to be converted to the more traditional style 4pin / 1 wire / P103 setup. This required removing the alternator from the vehicle, possible vehicle down time, shipping and then reinstalling into the vehicle.  While this is a great process and we still perform these modifications on Mechman brand alternators, it can be an inconvenience to the customer.  So, this is not a replacement of the 4pin/1wire upgrade we do, merely a more convenient way for our customers to attain their goals. 

With the new MM-VC1 the customer will be able to simply purchase online, follow our included detailed instructions where only a 12v switched source and ground wire will need to be connected to the vehicle. Thats it! No battery light and the customer will be able to charge from battery resting voltage (usually in the 12.4-volt range on std AGM batteries) all the way up to 15.5 volts (marginally lower on non-Mechman brand alternators). It's just that easy!

The included wiring harness uses high quality waterproof connectors just like a factory accessory add on should have. No worries of mixing up wires or coming loose during the rigors of daily driving or brutal car audio shaking. 

The added safety of the MM-VC1 is that if you try to adjust your voltage too low or too high, your GM 2 pin alternator will simply default to 13.5 volts.  Simply raise or lower the duty cycle via the UP / DOWN buttons on the controller and your voltage range will pick right back up where you want it.

Typical uses:

1.  Motor swaps

2.  Custom lithium battery banks / different lithium battery chemistry charging ranges.

3.  Multiple alternator setups (tested on 3 at one time / verified)

4.  Using 2pin alternators in 4pin vehicle applications.

5.  OEM alternator voltage boosting, not amperage increasing.


THIS ITEM DOES NOT:

1.  Solve electrical issues the vehicle may already have.

2.  Fix broken / non-working alternators.

3.  Substitute a low amperage output alternator for a high output alternator need. Voltage only, not amps. 

4.  Fix voltage drop from inadequate battery bank and high draw add on items such as large wattage audio amplifiers. 

5.  Voltage adjustment is meant to be set and forget.  Hot temperatures = lower voltage, cold temperatures = higher voltage.

    I knew I wasn't crazy! I had a 1500w amp and my factory alternator is 140 amp so there was no way I should be having voltage drop I was seeing. I hit up Tony@Mechman.com and asked him what am I doin wrong!??!

    He sent me some links about the RVC system and different options on how to get around it. I figured i'd hafta buy a new alternator but nope! Didn't even try to sell me an alternator, he thought the same thing I did with the voltage and the amp I was running.

    Got this little magic box, 2 wire hook up and now I'm 14.4-14.7 volts all day long. Hell, my A/C even works better! Hmmm...maybe a 320 amp alternator next year for MORE power now that I know how easy it is. LOLZ!!

    Product does what it needs to and gives you control over your vehicle's electrical system and works as advertised. Only thing I'd like to see added to it would be an integrated voltmeter which shouldn't be hard since it already requires a 12V switched source and ground.

  • LIFESAVER!!!

    Hell yea, this thing fixed all that GM RVC crap that i've hated since DAY 1 !!!!!! My Impala still has the stock alternator (saving up for the Mechman 240 currently) but this kit, AND IT IS A KIT, was 100% complete with badass instructions with pictures and only needed to install TWO WIRES!!!

    No more random dimming lights, no more 12 volts crap, just comes setup ready to go. I did bump the duty cycle up just a bit for 14.8 volts, but I see why they pre-set to 70% just in case someone has an old or old school water-lead-acid battery. This 14.8 voltage works perfect for my XS Power batteries!
