Rewinding a Car Alternator for 240 Volt
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://hackaday.com/2026/02/03/rewinding-a-car-alternator-for-240-volt/
An #alternator has two main #diode systems🫣! L & M, main rectifier diodes (usually six) to convert AC to DC for the car!
Alafu, K, a diode trio, which uses three diodes to create a small DC current needed to excite the rotor's #electromagneticpulse, F!

Did a further scan with #VCDS to double check all the #OBD2 #ECU #coding had taken correctly and do some real-time data monitoring, VCDS is way better for this - current draw when the ignition is turned on is as much as 14A !
New #battery holding voltage at around 12,4V with engine off, way better than old one which, barely 12V and sometimes less
Starting engine shows charge current from #alternator as much as 60A, going down to about 10A when idling (which means in future I shouldn't have to worry about #smartcharger overcharging the battery, I may even be able to monitor it this way).
Hopefully this battery lasts another 4+ years as doing all this extra coding is quite a mission compared to older cars!
That little red battery icon benched my upload schedule.
From the cheap seats: what’s your call—battery or alternator?
