Re: Maniac Electric Motors Alternator Update
I just became aware of this problem this morning. I received a PM from kjoyes about this. He said:
"Hi, John,
I recently bought a high output alternator from Amazon.com from a seller called eaglehigh. In the item description it says by Manic EM.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When I got the item, I called Manic Electric they told me that is not their product and that it was a mix some sort of mix up.
I had it tested at a local alternator rebuild shop and they gave it a load test and spun it at 4000 rpm and it produced 125A. I had my stock one tested and it produced 115A at 4000 rpm.
I called them at 818-400-4941 and they told me that they make them.
I am not sure how to ask you but could you call Eagle High and do some investigating? Act like your interested in buying one and see if they are legit or not."
They probably are legitimate. He did not mention Maniac or attempt to deceive me. I just don't know about the quality of the rebuild or testing.
The seller said the alternator was 160A, but kyjoyes said it bench-tested at only 125A. Kjoyes also said his stock 95A alternator tested at 115A. Why wuld one alternator test lower and one higher?
Maybe kjoyes can add more information. More information is needed. It seems thay kjoyes tried to buy from Maniac first and found out they were not available from her. Then went looking online and found the Amazon site with the Maniac EM listing and bought from the seller.
