Wakespeed 101 | Installing the WS500 Alternator Regulator | Wiring

To take full advantage of the benefits when utilizing the Wakespeed WS500 Alternator Regulator for advanced alternator charging, it needs to be properly wired and installed. Al Thomason, one of the founders and engineers of Wakespeed, walks step by step through the installation of the WS500 into a high energy DC system.

I felt like I was there in class!! Great series, I watched it the first time when I first ran across Wakespeed on the Nations Alternator and regulator bundle offer, but it made no sense to me. (well some, but not a lot) I watched it to see how involved the actual wiring and integration would be but didn't see an actual live example, so I half listened. However, after exhausting my research for exact examples for my integration, I came back and was able to absorb more, your approach of principles and understanding of the systems helps to apply to a variety of scenarios! Thanks for taking the time to explain BMS, not only what it means, but the fact that this does not operate or communicate the same between manufacturers. ( I have a Magnum Energy systems 2000 system and it uses a BMK which is a monitor for the bank and not for the individual cells like in a BMS for Lithium.) I thought I had a good grasp of 12v, I will come back and watch this video again before I take the "Installing the WS500 Alternator Regulator" Exam LOL. BYW I was a surprised at how many more mobile installations there are as compared to marine.

Great information. I would be even better if you would repeat the questions asked in the workshop, because they are mostly inaudible on the video. :-(

I was told to come here for purchasing one of these for my Dakota Lithium 12v 135amp batteries. I am running a 250amp alternator this is going inside a 2018Jeep Wrangler. I am not much a good wiring and taking as many notes as I can and hoping I can get this done.

@WakeSpeed: Does the WakeSpeed WS500 regulator have a pre-configuration setting for Dakota Lithium batteries?

[@jamesmason7124]

Can you please tell me if the ws500w controller will work on a Delco Remy 50DN gear driven 12 volt DC brushless generator for a Detroit diesel 6v71n bus engine

[@DLWertz]

Yes, I have a WS500 regulating my 12v 50dn on a Series 60

@@DLWertz thank you for your help

You have phone numbers on the boards behind the speaker... might want to edit this video.
