Why does Alternator get soak?

Alternator is one vital component in the car because it serves as a supplier of electricity to the battery. It is conceivable if the supply of non-current, over time the alias road vehicles can not strike because the battery worn out.

alternator no special care or periodic servicing. The remaining life of the new conditions could reach 5 years. After passing through the alternator performance trend began to decline and result in minimal power supplies or even none at all.


Lifetime could be faster due to several factors. "The use of electronics with large electrical loads such as lighting modifications, installation of audio and monitor,". Typically, the charging capacity of the factory default, leaving only between 5-10 A as a backup. When there are additional components exceed the alternator must be replaced with the appropriate capacity is modified by replacing or installing rolls or amplifier. If not, then in a more severe and takes ages more quickly.

Other triggers worn alternator, when crossing flooded with water levels appropriate to the position of the alternator (+ / - 50 cm) so that it can damage when active. Another thing, according to employers who memkulai his career since the 2000 flood hit the alternator in the off state because the capacity is full.

The signs began to soak alternator battery indicator light picture or writing 'CHG' lit. "In addition, due to sound from the alternator bearing that has begun to wear out. If not promptly replaced, the rotor and stator will come into contact, seizures, and finally burnt,". If it's automatic burning unusable alias destroyed. Alternator only home that could be reused.


Well, in order to prevent the number of parts replaced, as has been past his or popping sound strange, do get reproduction. That is, some of the main components in it should be replaced with new, including the voltage regulator and rectifier current (rectifire). While the coil, rotor and stator can still be used. Having replaced the alternator can be used at least 3 years with normal use. "Make sure the garage reproduction guarantees at least a year,".
