According to the casa, if your battery is undersized, the load that is sent from the alternator, pagpuno na daw yung battery kasi 70 amps capacity lang, it sends back the excess power back to the alternator, eventually causing the IC to break. Could it be true? Could it mean then that when I shifted to 110 amp alternator, in 3 days time, nasira rin siya?
When I called up diesoline about it, he then commented that when he was with Excel, he also damaged his alternator, also the IC!! And he said that may also be the case with Mikey!! I remember reading here somewhere someone who replaced the alternator to 110amps. Question, what's your battery???
The oem alternator is 19K less 20% at the casa. I am still looking for a replacement surplus alternator.
