Keep the battery charged and every electrical accessory powered with the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) Alternator 11491. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 Hyundai Sonata and Tucson, the 2010-2013 Kia Forte and Forte Koup, the 2012-2013 Kia Forte5, and the 2011-2013 Kia Optima and Sportage.
An alternator is the engine's onboard generator: it converts mechanical rotation into electrical current that recharges the battery and powers the ignition, lights, and accessories whenever the engine is running.
- Charging output: Produces the electrical current that keeps the battery topped up and the vehicle's electrical systems supplied while the engine runs.
- Belt-driven: Spins off the engine's accessory belt to generate power across the normal operating range.
- Direct-fit replacement: Designed to install in place of the original alternator on the listed applications.
Signs the original alternator may need replacing include an illuminated battery/charging warning light, dim or flickering lights, a repeatedly dead battery, or a whine from the accessory drive. If a failed alternator is the cause, this unit replaces it — diagnose the charging system first, since these symptoms can have other causes.
