Genuine VW/Audi AL82NEC 60 Amp Alternator for Air-Cooled VW

The AL82NEC is a 60-amp, 12-volt alternator designed as an upgrade replacement for classic air-cooled Volkswagen vehicles. This alternator provides significantly higher electrical output compared to stock generators, making it ideal for vehicles with increased electrical demands or modern accessories.

Key Features:

• 60-amp output for enhanced electrical system performance
• 12-volt design with internal voltage regulator
• Direct replacement design requires alternator stand (not included)
• Compatible with 1972 and earlier VW Beetles, Buses, Super Beetles, and Ghias when used with generator-to-alternator conversion kit
• No external voltage regulator required
• Aluminum construction for durability and heat dissipation

Installation Notes:

This alternator features an internal voltage regulator and requires the D+ terminal to be wired to the negative side of a warning light bulb. A standard incandescent bulb must be used, as LED warning lights do not draw sufficient current to activate the internal regulator. An alternator stand is required for proper mounting and is sold separately.

Ideal for restorers and enthusiasts looking to modernize the electrical system of their classic air-cooled Volkswagen while maintaining period-correct appearance.
