Prestolite Alternator 12V 210A A160208

Prestolite alternator, 12V 210A, part number A160208. This is a new unit with an internal regulator, twin leg alternator mount, insulated return, and bi-directional rotation. The stated shaft diameter is 22mm, with a shaft dimension of 22, and the alternator is listed with a 101mm inside mounting leg measurement and 216mm mount centre to centre.

The unit is identified as Series AVI160 and is supplied as each. It is rated at 210 amps at 12 volts, with a one year warranty. The pulley section is noted as not applicable, and the product weight is 9.3kg. For buyers comparing replacements, the key identifiers to check are part number A160208, Prestolite brand, and the 12V 210A rating.

Listed features include above ground, remote sense, E-Coat, self excitation, high temperature grease and seals for longer bearing life, and a fan design intended to offer more efficient air flow and cooler operation under high output load conditions. Those details make this a serious charging component rather than a generic replacement, so it is worth confirming the mount measurements, rotation, and electrical setup before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number A160208 first, then match the electrical and mounting details. The important checkpoints here are 12 volts, 210 amps, internal regulator, twin leg mount, 101mm inside mounting legs, 216mm mount centre to centre, and the 22mm shaft diameter. Those measurements matter because alternators can look similar while using different brackets, shaft arrangements, or regulator types.

This alternator is listed with bi-directional rotation, insulated return, and a pulley section marked not applicable. That means the physical mounting and electrical arrangement should be checked against the existing unit rather than assumed from appearance alone. If the removed alternator has a different mounting leg spacing, pivot arrangement, or shaft specification, it is safer to verify those points before fitting.

The supplied feature set includes remote sense, self excitation, E-Coat, and high temperature grease and seals. Those are useful design details, but they do not replace a fitment check. For the best result, compare the old unit’s tags, brackets, and terminal layout with the details shown here, especially if the machine is used in heavy-duty or high-output charging conditions.

As with any charging component, confirm the application by part number and measured dimensions, not just by brand or machine family. The verified application list is broad and includes several industrial, truck, agricultural, and construction platforms, but final confirmation still depends on matching A160208 and the listed mounting and electrical specifications to the unit being replaced.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number A160208 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Relevant published details for this unit include Type ALTERNATOR, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty One Year, Inside Mounting Legs 101mm, Power Rating (Amp) 210, Regulator Type Internal, Series AVI160, Suits Unit Make Prestolite, Alternator Mount Twin Leg, New / Reman. New.

Additional published details for cross-checking include Shaft Dimension 22, Product Group 2 ALTERNATORS, Part No. A160208, Brand PRESTOLITE, Description Prestolite Alternator 12V 210A, Adjusting Hole Diameter 1/2 UNC, Pivot Hole Diameter 13, Pulley Section Not Applicable, Rotation Bi-Directional.

Prestolite Alternator 12V 210A. Part number A160208 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 210. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

Mount style is Twin Leg. Regulator type is Internal. Pulley configuration is Not Applicable. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.

For part number A160208, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a alternator in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 210 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching part number A160208, 12V 210A output, internal regulator, twin leg mount, 101mm inside mounting legs, 216mm mount centre to centre, 22mm shaft diameter, and the listed application details before purchase.
