Hello, I had trouble in starting the car in the morning whenever I drove it the previous night. As usual the first suspect was the battery which turned out to be ok. So I took the car to the local electrician. He said the battery was discharging when AC and headlamps are on and apparently the alternator current rating is below the required level. It was rated 65A and he asked me to get one rated at least 80A. Is it alright to go for an alternator with a higher current rating? What effect would it have on the circuitry? Does anyone know the current rating of the factory fitted alternator of Galant diesel (full option)? I`m asking this because the car was bought recently and the previous owners might have fixed an alternator with a low rating for some reason.
