Does anybody know the correct part no. for the alternator



i changed 3 batteries over a 2 year period, battery keeps bubbling over and water dries up

now this 3rd battery is bad in less than a year.

i suspect its overcharging, but I don't want to repair the alternator.

anybody else had a similar experience?

What's the voltage when charging?

How hard would it be to take off the alternator? Does it look like this? Image

If so then it looks the same as the one in the M15 swift and even the G16B baleno. I have both of those alternators that I've changed.

They all seem to have 31400 in the part number

I was thinking about getting one on amazon til I found one in the bamboo for my baleno
