WS500 Pro Bluetooth® Alternator Regulator

Wakespeed WS500 Pro Bluetooth® Alternator Regulator

The Wakespeed WS500 Pro builds upon the success of the popular WS500 Advanced Alternator Regulator, introducing Bluetooth® connectivity for unmatched convenience. The WS500 Pro utilizes current, voltage, and temperature to deliver the most precise and effective charging possible for 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems — with configurability for voltages in between — and allows users to optimize their mobile power systems, unlocking faster charging speeds, increased efficiency, and seamless integration with numerous battery systems.

Paired with the Wakespeed Configuration and Monitoring Utility Mobile App, users can wirelessly configure, update, and monitor their alternator charging directly from their smartphones. This integrated communication technology and intuitive app, available for both iPhone and Android, also unlocks the potential for exciting future features, ensuring the WS500 Pro remains at the forefront of power management innovation. The regulator is housed in a durable waterproof plastic enclosure and carries a 2-year limited warranty.

Key Features

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity for wireless monitoring, configuration, and firmware updates via the Wakespeed Mobile App (iOS and Android)
• Advanced multi-PID engine control — the only regulation available to charge based on battery C-rates, tail current, and system loads simultaneously
• Actively regulates to desired alternator temperature rather than reacting after an over-temperature event; real-time variable output based on ambient alternator and battery temperature
• Supports 12V, 24V, and 48V systems (auto-detected); fully customizable from 12 to 48/52V with no hardware changes required
• Eight preset DIP-switch-selectable charge profiles: Default/Safe AGM, Standard FLA, Deep Cycle FLA, HD AGM, Gel, Battle Born LiFePO4, Custom #1, and Custom #2 (pre-configured LiFePO4)
• Over 100 advanced configuration parameters accessible via Wakespeed Mobile App Expert Mode or USB port
• J1939-based CANbus with support for RV-C, NMEA2000, Victron VEreg, SMA, LUX, and select proprietary BMS protocols; compatible with RJ45/CAT5, M12-5, and RV-C cabling systems
• Wide battery compatibility: Lead Acid, AGM, Gel, and LiFePO4 — with factory-engineered profiles for Battle Born Batteries, Lithionics, Victron Energy, Discover, Fullriver, Lifeline, MG Energy Systems, Optima, REC BMS, Trojan, and Whisperpower
• Plug-n-Go feature automatically configures to default settings; A-Type (N) or B-Type (P) field polarity support via harness selection
• Adaptive Idle Technology dynamically reduces alternator output to prevent stalling at lower RPMs; White Space customizable loading vs. RPM curve; Zero Output Technology limits output to match house loads when batteries are full
• Multi-engine applications via CAN — multiple charge controllers balance output across a single large battery bank; dual alternator on single engine support
• Alternator, battery, and internal temperature sensing for comprehensive protection and optimized charging
• Onboard multi-color LED for operational and fault status; remote display via CAN using marine and RV protocols
• IP67-rated enclosure; industrial-grade Ampseal 23-pin waterproof terminal connectors and ruggedized RJ45 (CAN); USB Type B connector for wired configuration and firmware updates
• Dimensions: 190mm x 100mm footprint (160mm x 100mm x 60mm enclosure); default current shunt: 500A/50mV (calibratable)
• CE certified; FCC Part 15 Class A compliant; 2-year limited warranty from Dragonfly Energy Corp.
