autoque is on a distinguished road
I've just read from a link in google that brushes in the alternator will burn away or wear out from working too hard, and am getting concerned...
Since this is the second time that the battery has been completely drained and the alternator working extra hard to recharge it (it seems that this time the battery is less willing to be fully charged), could the alternator be tested for any defects? How do I know if the alternator is not damaged at all?
