OEM-Specific Alternators | Chevrolet Aveo, Pontiac, Optra, and other listed models | Voltage: 12V ±0.5V (ISO 7702) Current: 85A (▲ vs 70A industry standard) Material: Aluminum casing (ASTM B221) Cooling: 12 fins (reduces temp by 15°C) | Perfect OEM fit, stable voltage, lightweight aluminum | Limited to specific models, no customization |
Universal Fit Alternators | Vehicles without OEM-specific parts | Voltage: 12V ±1V (SAE J1000) Current: 70A (SAE J1000) Material: Plastic housing (ASTM D638) | Wider compatibility, cost-effective | Lower output, potential fitment issues, plastic housing less durable |
High Output Alternators | Heavy-duty trucks, RVs, or vehicles with power-hungry accessories | Voltage: 12V ±0.3V (ISO 6803) Current: 120A (▲▲ vs OEM 85A) Windings: Copper (ASTM B117) | Powers high-electrical-load systems, ▲▲▲ power boost over OEM | Bulky design, heavier weight, requires robust mounting brackets |
Compact Alternators | Space-constrained engines (e.g., motorcycles, compact cars) | Voltage: 12V ±0.7V (ISO 6803) Current: 60A (SAE J1000) Material: Magnesium alloy (ASTM B260) | Slim profile (20% smaller than OEM), lightweight | Lower output, less durable under heavy loads |
Temperature-Resistant Alternators | Harsh climates or engines with high thermal stress | Operating Temp: Up to 150°C (ISO 6239) Cooling: Enhanced thermal paste (ASTM D4329) | Withstands extreme heat, ▲▲ longevity in hot climates | Higher cost, heavier due to reinforced components |
Heavy-Duty Alternators | Commercial vehicles, off-road trucks, or industrial machinery | Voltage: 12V ±0.2V (ISO 6803) Current: 150A (▲▲▲ vs OEM) Bearings: Reinforced (ISO 1043) | ▲▲▲▲ Power capacity, ultra-durable construction, long lifespan | Bulky, expensive, incompatible with standard mounts |
