Overview
About this part
The alternator charges your battery while the engine runs and powers your electrics. When it fails, the battery drains and the car eventually cuts off. Common failure point after 100,000-150,000 km.
Signs you need it
- Battery warning light on the dashboard
- Dim headlights that brighten when you rev
- Battery keeps dying even after replacement
- Whining or grinding noise from the engine bay
- Electrical items (AC, radio) cutting in and out
Typical lifespan
100,000–200,000 km typical
On Ghana roads with normal driving.
Find your part number
Read the sticker on the alternator body — voltage (12V/24V), amp rating (usually 80–150A), and part number. Match all three.
Before you order
What to check first
01
Ask for the amp rating — using a lower-amp unit will undercharge your car.
02
Refurbished is fine if the vendor offers a 3-month warranty; otherwise go new.
03
Have the belt & tensioner checked at the same time — worn belts kill new alternators.
04
If the battery is more than 2 years old, replace both together to protect the alternator.

Frequently asked
Refurbished or brand new?
A properly refurbished alternator from a reputable source is 40-60% cheaper and often lasts 3-5 years. Brand new is safer but costlier. We source both.
Can I drive with a bad alternator?
Short trips only. The car runs on battery alone once the alternator dies and will cut off within 20-40 minutes.
