Stronger Alternator

[Jimmmmy]

I was looking through `Selected vehicle equipment` of my van on We Connect and noticed `Standard battery and stronger alternator`. Any ideas what a stronger alternator is? I know what an alternator is, just the stronger bit I was wondering about.

Could be talking about the larger factory alternators.

Standard 140A.

Larger 180A.

28% increase in peak power output but added load on the ribbed belt and tensioner.

Same thing for me wants more Amperage. Looking for my VW T6 Multivan petrol 2016.
My original alternator generates 180A but right now needs to be replaced or repaired as my AC cuts off intermittently, and recently battery sign light on some times.
Found AS-PL.com a very good search and they do have thier brand and spares with cross references from their brand to Valeo or Bosch.
But I am studying the subject. As I have installed roof top DC AC recently.
