First alternator lasted less than 1 month.
Second alternator has been up for 1 year and still going strong.

This one in my gallery started out with a 20" box fan blade until it rotted off from UV degradation and I made these PVC blades with which it flew for an additional year before meeting it's demise at a massive windstorm. It kept batteries up on a cabin during non-used times and we never had to charge them with any other source the whole time we used that setup.

Fun, fun!
