Patent abstract
A method of controlling an alternator in a marine propulsion system includes receiving a battery voltage level of a battery charged by the alternator, receiving a throttle demand value, determining whether the throttle demand value exceeds a demand threshold, and determining whether the battery voltage level exceeds a threshold minimum battery voltage. If the throttle demand value exceeds the demand threshold and the battery voltage level exceeds the threshold minimum battery voltage, then the alternator is controlled to reduce the charge current output to the battery and reduce engine output power utilized by the alternator.
