ALTERNATORS
FOR CARS, 4WD & TRUCKS

What is Alternator?

Vehicle’s alternator is an integral part of your vehicle’s charging system. The simple way to understand what is the alternator and to who is  responsible for – it is the part which produces electricity and ensures that your car battery would be charged properly. Find out more – here!

When the Alternator is dead

  • Service engine light
    Another obvious but not always appearing sign – light indicator on your car’s dashboard. It depends on the car model what it could show you – “Check Engine,” “ALT,” or a battery icon indicator.
  • Electrical issues
    When the Alternator doesn’t work properly or it is failed already, all car electric elements relying only on battery. This leads to slow operations for electrical vehicle equipment, like power seats or windows. Without enough power, sometimes the device will not function or will suddenly stop working, like the radio turning itself off.
  • Dead battery
    When Alternator doesn’t work properly, the vehicle uses up all of the battery’s capacity, leaving it drained. Flat battery causes issues with starting your car. Before changing a dead battery, you must be sure that your Alternator isn’t malfunctioning. Otherwise, it will happen again quicker than you can think.
  • Dim lights
    Probably this is the most noticeable sign of failing alternator. When are dim or flickering lights and it brightens as RPMs pick up you can be sure, that is the sign, that you need to check Alternator.
  • Odd noises
    This sign could be not so accurate, hence you should look for additional signs for the issue. The serpentine belt could have stretched with age and may not be spinning the alternator pulley effectively, leading to a lack of charge. This typically results in a squealing noise.

Brisbane mobile alternator replacement

If you turn the key and instead of firing up the engine, all you hear are rapid clicks, it might be a flat battery or it could be more than that if you missed the signs of a failing alternator. Our team can replace most Alternators with our convenient mobile service. We have an extensive range of alternators available at our stock site 365 days a year.

The alternator doesn’t choose day or time when to fail, so for example, if it brakes down on Friday night, this could ruin your weekend plans. Our mobile technicians can normally attend your vehicle the same day 24/7.

Toyota Camry alternator (alternator replacement)

At the last minute our alternator died in our car. Stopped at a large chain that couldn’t fit us in for at least 2 days. We rang Best Batteries who came out within an hour, fixed the alternator on our vehicle. Better still the work was done professionally, affordably and at our own residence so that we were not inconvenienced in any way. Highly recommend Best Batteries I know for one we will be back when we need this kind of work done again.

– Martin M.

Toyota Prado alternator (supply & fit alternator)

What a great experience. Can’t thank you enough guys!
I am regretting paying my roadside assistance membership for years. After my car broken down and all roadside guys could say is sorry, can’t help. I have googled and called Best Batteries and could not believe that they said YES they can come and test and replace my alternator on Sunday. After all it only took couple of hours. Great price and warranty too. Very, very happy customer.
