Frequently-Asked Questions

Will this product damage the alternator, starter battery, or affect the overall lifespan of the vehicle?

No, the 800W alternator charger's charging logic does not rigidly apply 800 watts. Instead, it depends on the power surplus of the car's alternator. It ensures the alternator is not overloaded, allowing up to a maximum of 800 watts without harming the car's battery.

Will this product consume more fuel (i.e. affect gas mileage) when used?

The product uses the electricity generated by the car's alternator. Even if all the electrical devices inside the car are turned off, the alternator still generates electricity while the car is running. The alternator charger utilizes the surplus electricity generated by the car's alternator and stores it in a portable power station through the charger. The impact on fuel consumption is very minimal.

Do I need to drill holes to install this product? Will it cause any damage to the vehicle?

Drilling is not required for installation. The wiring connection to the alternator at the front of the car does not need drilling and will not damage the vehicle. It can simply be wired through the firewall near the driver's seat. The alternator charger can also be installed using methods that do not require drilling.

Is this product suitable for DIY installation?

The installation of the alternator charger is not very complicated, and it is feasible for professional users with some hands-on ability to install it themselves. However, it is still recommended to contact professional personnel from related workshops for installation. Installation advice: When wiring, avoid high temperature, sharp, and friction-prone areas, and securely fasten the cables to avoid cable wear or loose connections caused by cable movement. The alternator charger may generate high temperatures, so avoid covering the product. After use, avoid immediate direct contact to prevent the risk of burns.

Is it normal for the alternator charger to get hot?

Yes. The alternator charger may generate high temperatures, so avoid covering the product. After use, avoid immediate direct contact to prevent the risk of burns.
