Alternators

An alternator supplies your Mercedes' electrical systems with energy while the engine is operating, and recharges the battery at the same time. The alternator needs to be in good condition, otherwise, the power will begin to come from the battery, which does not have enough to last throughout the day. Such drains can seriously affect the batteries' lifespan, but more importantly leave you possibly stranded on the side of the road, waiting for a tow. Aside from a warning light appearing on the dashboard alternator problems are quick to appear. Signs of a bad alternator include odd noises, flickering lights which also dim, unresponsiveness of the dashboard dials and controls, etc. The first thing you'll probably notice are dimming or flickering dashboard lights. These can also be signs of a failing battery, so ensure you get both components checked when you notice these symptoms. Using an OEM alternator to replace the old one is the correct way to go. An OEM alternator will fit your make and model perfectly. We offer some of the best deals on factory alternators right here for a range of Mercedes models, so shop today.
