About NISSAN Alternators Spare Parts

Besides the battery and voltage regulator, your Nissan's charging system also utilizes an alternator, which works in tandem with the battery to charge your car’s electrical systems. While the battery is used to start your car, the alternator keeps the electrical components running.

An alternator should last anywhere from 7 to 10 years on average. As it reaches the end of its lifespan, be it due to wear and tear that follows normal use or because of a defective part, your car will begin to exhibit one or more telltale signs that it may need to be replaced. The first sign is flickering headlights. Your headlights may brighten and dim as you accelerate or decelerate your engine, or become dimmer in general, signaling that insufficient power is being generated by the alternator. The next sign is dealing with a weak battery. The alternator helps to send power to the battery, but if it’s faulty, it won't be able to recharge the battery. Lastly, you may begin to hear grinding noises. Your alternator is made up of multiple moving parts including a stator, rotor and bearings, any of which can malfunction and/or dislodge, in turn producing unusual noises.
