OEM Hyundai Alternators

The factory alternator in your Hyundai vehicle is a critical part of the charging system. While your battery and spark plugs team to provide the electricity needed for ignition, the alternator is what delivers electricity to the vast majority of the vehicle's systems.

How Your Alternator Works

The alternator operates through a series of mechanical and electrical processes. Under the hood, the engine's crankshaft converts the vertical motion of the pistons into a rotary motion. This rotary motion is transferred through a drive belt, which rotates a pulley on the rotor shaft of the alternator. As the pulley spins, it causes the magnetic coils within the alternator to move, generating a magnetic field. This rotating magnetic field induces an electrical current within the coils, which is then captured and converted into direct current (DC) power.

How to Identify a Failing Alternator

Even a top-quality alternator can go bad, though. Indications of alternator trouble include:

• Dim or flickering headlights
• Power windows stop working
• Your audio system begins acting up
• Your battery keeps dying
• You notice a whining engine noise

Once your alternator starts to fail, you need to act quickly. First, check your vehicle's charging system. If that inspection indicates that you need a new alternator, make sure that you get the best one for your Hyundai model.
