Rated at 170A output at 12V, this alternator is engineered for vessels with high electrical load demands, delivering up to 110A even at idle speed so house and starting batteries stay charged during low-RPM operation such as trolling or extended anchoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe alternator uses custom high speed bearings for extended service life under continuous marine duty, and a dual fan cooling design with a high airflow frame to manage heat during sustained high-output charging. Its compact case package keeps the footprint small for tight engine bay installations while still delivering full-size charging output. The XT-VT-170-IR is built to CDI Electronics' standard of marine-grade reliability as a cost-effective alternative to OEM-supplied charging components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e CDI
