Verify Alternator Spec 2000 U270

How can I determine exactly what alternator I have?  Spec sheet on Beam Alarm says 130 amp.  The only plate I can find on the alternator is the Transpo voltage regulator.

Thanks

As I recall the nameplate is on the back side.  It's time to remove the alternator and search.

Was this bought new from the factory or are you a second or third owner? this might answer the original question as to what it is or could be but probably have to pull it to see.

if it has a transpo regulator, its either been rebuilt or an aftermarket unit. Probably a Leece-Neville. you can upgrade the amperage. mine is 160amp. just make sure the unit has DUVAC.

Thanks to all. l will most likely replace my alternator with a new higher output unit as part of our lithium/solar upgrade.

Several possible upgrade alternators available.  Shop around for price and desired features, according to your system requirements.

I purchased the DELCO 28SI described in post below last year to upgrade our coach.  Haven't gotten around to installing it yet, so can't provide a "User Review".  Installation is on my To-Do list.

Dual Alternator Setup

Another one you may wish to consider is the DELCO 40SI. This has been used in some high-dollar lithium battery upgrades on this Forum.  Roger (Roger & Susan in Home2) has reported good performance from this model.
