Mastervolt 46614142 - Alpha Compact 14/140 Alternator for Volvo Penta + Alpha Pro III (12V, 140A)
The Alpha Compact 14/140 VP alternator (46614142) is a compact, high-efficiency 12V alternator designed specifically for Volvo Penta marine engines. Pre-bundled with the Alpha Pro III digital charge regulator, this system provides fast, intelligent multi-stage battery charging in both new installations and retrofits.
Delivering up to 140 A at 6000 RPM and 70 A at 1800 RPM, this alternator is engineered to charge large service battery banks—including Lithium Ion, AGM, Gel, and flooded batteries—even at low engine speeds. An integrated temperature sensor and the advanced Alpha Pro III ensure charging is always safe, optimized, and battery-specific.
Its open-frame design with dual internal fans improves thermal regulation, allowing safe operation in tight, high-temperature engine spaces. Compared to conventional alternators, the Alpha Compact is up to 40% lighter and 25% smaller, with 30% lower fuel consumption due to high efficiency and reduced mechanical drag.
