^ What are you talking about, pretty much everything there was very very bad and false information. And alternators dont throw voltage spikes nemore, thats what regulators are for.

let me ask you this, have you ever heard of a bad alternator? you take it out go to an auto shop, have em test it, they tell you its bad. ok now that weve gotten that far. "whats wrong with my alternator mr mechanic?" you say. "well it looks as though your brushes are worn and your regulator is broke"
forgive me i should have said
"Serves as a source of protection when your alternator DOES throw a voltage spike.
when your regulator goes out"
let me ask you another thing have you ever had a mediocre system in your car and when you drive at night your headlights dim? thats caused by excess voltage draw, you CAN damage your alternator like this.
i think you just need to read up on capacitors a little. i majored in modern electronics when i went to college trust me i know what im talking about
and that concludes a rant by the ever so sweet, biggbabysweetz1
