The Bosch AL0716N is a premium 100% new alternator rated at 70 amps, engineered as a direct OE-quality replacement for the vehicle's charging system. Unlike remanufactured units, this alternator is built entirely from new components — never remanufactured or rebuilt — ensuring maximum reliability and long-term performance.
Bosch has been supplying alternators to Original Equipment vehicle manufacturers since 1913, and that same engineering expertise is applied to every aftermarket replacement. The AL0716N is identical in fit and function to the OE part it replaces, while incorporating the latest advances in charging technology.

Installation Note: Always ensure the battery is fully charged before installing a new alternator. Alternators are designed to maintain a charged battery, not to charge a dead one. Using a new alternator to charge a depleted battery can damage internal components and shorten the unit's service life.
