Alternator

What are the benefits of a Mercedes-Benz Genuine Remanufactured alternator?

Our remanufactured alternators meet the high standards of quality of Mercedes-Benz in testing. All parts are cleaned and freed of corrosion, remanufactured, and tested. In the process, the threads are repaired, and small parts are always replaced with new parts. The balanced rotor provides for smooth running and excellent durability. Finally, the electric alternator is protected against corrosion by applying special paint – for a long service life.

How does an alternator work?

The alternator or three-phase alternator generates electricity by converting mechanical motion to electrical energy. The running engine drives the belt drive in the vehicle, generating mechanical energy that the alternator can convert. Due to the level of efficiency, therefore, the mechanical energy input is higher than the electrical power output.

How can you tell if the alternator is defective?

Signs of wear most commonly appear through friction in the bearings, on the commutator and in the slip rings. Other symptoms include:

• The charge indicator lamp is lit up but the battery is not charging
• The charge indicator lamp gets brighter as the engine speed increases (the battery is getting hot)
• The charge indicator lamp is flickering (the V-belt is slipping and squealing)
• The belt drive is making unusual noises
• Defective plus diode (the battery is discharging at standstill)
