Yep, I went through many 50/120 chrysler reman'd alternators over the years. Especially before I got solar.
It was after that I took an old set of 4awg jumper cables doubled them up in one ring terminal on both ends, and ran it right from alternator(+) to my Battery switch Common, and really let those alternator amps fly.
Grounds were upgraded too.
Frankly, I was surprised it lasted as long as it did.
I've not stressed the 'new' one yet, nor seen what it can do and compare it to old. My MeanWell has been floating my AGM when the Solar is not.
