Replaced the sliprings on my alternator.
$20 versus $325? Yesplease
I have noticed that only one polarity (pos or neg) takes all the beating. Switching the polarity at say 125,000 miles would likely double the life of the slip rings. I'm thinking I will do that on my wife's rather than wait for it to self destruct and require new brushes and slip rings.
Anybody ever heard of this.
I know in arc lamps the anode takes all of the abuse so I'm betting the top ring is the positive and is bombarded by electrons. Anybody know?
