Re: bad diodes in alternator

never really notice lights dimming.

car starts up fine when cold (sitting over night) but after driving then restarting battery charges very slow. battery seems weak(lots of battery bounce when rolling up windows, hitting the brake to shift into gear, turning light on, etc). if i leave car for 3 days the battery will die. i got the alternator tested because a few people told me sometimes they can stay on while the car is off causing the battery to die.
i am definetly going to get a new one. any specific brand i should get i have seen a few different ones.
