What Does My Alternator Do and When Should I Replace It?

What Does My Alternator Do and When Should I Replace It?

An alternator, as an integral part of every combustion engine vehicle, its main responsibility is to convert chemical energy to electrical energy so that you can charge and replenish the battery in your engine and other electrical components in a car.

4 Symptoms of a Faulty Alternator

  • * Car Won't Start. A dead battery almost always lies behind a car that won't start. Engine Stalling. A dead alternator almost always leads to a car that won't start.
  • * Electrical Issues. A dying alternator can lead to a wide range of other electrical issues.
  • * Unusual Sounds.

If your engine won't turn over or takes far longer than usual, it's time to grab the jumper cables and attempt a jump-start. If your engine starts and stays running but won't start again later, it's likely a battery problem. If your vehicle immediately stalls, it's probably a bad alternator.

An alternator should last between 80,000 to 150,000 miles, which usually means around 7-10 years. However, if your vehicle is driven hard, your alternator may need to be replaced sooner.
