OEM Volvo Alternators & Generators

What is an Alternator?

Your Volvo vehicle needs the alternator to deliver electrical power - but what else does this part do? It produces electrical energy from mechanical energy. The headlights, heated seats, radio, and the windshield wipers are just some of the components powered by the alternator.

How Can I Tell If My Alternator is Going Bad or Failing?

If your alternator fails, your battery will have to work harder. On average, an alternator can last between 7 to 10 years, depending on the model you drive. You can keep an eye out for warning signs of a failing alternator. Some of these signs include:

• Dim or bright headlights
• The entertainment system is malfunctioning
• A dead battery
• Battery warning light turns on
• Unusual growling sounds are coming from the engine

If you come across any of the signs above, you will want to test your charging system and perform a vehicle inspection.
