[QUOTE="Alaxan, post: 99461, member: 544457"] Litspliff needs to learn a thing or two before he goes of spouting information. A 120amp alternator should be more than fine for 95% of the systems out there today! Rewinding....can be done, but if the alternator is failing already may be useless. Take the car in to NAPA or Autozone or Pepboys and they will often test the alternator for free if not then for a few bucks. I would suggest (if the alternator is bad) getting the same alternator brand new and put in. Bigger battery? Is not supplying any more amperage or voltage to anything in the system. Basically it is pointless to get a big battery unless your wanting to leave the system running for a longer period of time without having to start the car. The system all runs off of the alternator when it is running so a battery will not help much here. Capacitor? Not necessarily needed and in fact causing more strain on the charging system (especially if it is failing). [/QUOTE]
