Having had my leisure batteries changed to 24v I'm finding my alternator is struggling to get power in them so I'm looking to upgrade my alternator but I'm unsure what affect (if any) this could have on the trucks electrical system.
I've not checked what the power output currently is as the weather has been too dire to lift the cab but I have looked online at possible replacements,one is 55 amp which is what I imagine the one installed is,or I could get an 80 amp one but not sure if this would create other problems. I also wondered if my alternator just needs some TLC?
I was thinking of getting an auto elec to have a look but I prefer to approach any tradesman pre armed with some knowledge so I can ask the right questions or know if they're trying to pull a fast one to make some extra cash.
Any info appreciated.
