Answer 1Once in a very great while, it is possible to get a defective replacement alternator or generator, BUT 10 in a row borders on the impossible.

Therefore, your problem IS NOT the alternator[s]. Therefore, the problem falls in one of two areas.

First, it is possible that you somehow have used the wrong part number, or wrong replacement alternator.

The other problem is that there is some kind of fault somewhere in the vehicle's electrical system which is causing the alternator failures.

If this is the problem, it sounds like you need a very highly experienced and qualified automotive electronics technician. Obviously, whoever has replaced the alternator 10 times, without realizing that the alternator[s] cannot be the problem is either a "shade tree mechanic," or a total novice.

Take your vehicle to a very highly experienced automotive electronics technician, who will have the diagnostic equipment to determine what and where the defect in the wiring system is.

With that knowledge, the problem can be corrected, and barring any other defects occurring thereafter, the next replacement alternator should work properly and not fail.

What is the function of generator in charging a battery?

The generator charges the battery! In an automobile, the battery produces the electricity to start the car. Starting the car takes electricity out of the battery. The car needs to replace the electricity so it will start again the next time. The generator produces the electricity to recharge the battery so the car will start the next time. Cars today use Alternators not Generators. Generators have not been used in autos since the mid 60s. Alternators unlike a generator can still charge a battery even with the engine idling. Alternators are more complex but much better at handling todays high demands for current on modern cars with all the associated electronics.

How do you know the alternator is gone bad?

You can put a volt meter across the battery terminals, if it is working you should have 12.6 or more volts. Some alternators will not charge is voltage is too low however. You can always have it tested, some autoparts shops can test it while it is still installed on your truck. Auto Zone in my local area offers this service free of charge.
